Cutting Budget Deficits Can Never

[banks] Have A Clear Obligation To Help Get This Country Off Its Addiction To Debt Because They Sure As Hell Helped To Get This Country Addicted To Debt.

Our First Benchmark Is To Cut The Deficit More Quickly To Safeguard Britain’s Credit Rating. I Know That We Are Taking A Political Gamble To Set This Up As A Measure Of Success. Protecting The Credit Rating Will Not Be Easy The Pace Of Fiscal Consolidation Will Be Co-ordinated With Monetary Policy. And We Will Protect Britain's Credit Rating And International Reputation.

There Is A Big Problem. The Problem Is The Country Borrowed Too Much. We Went On A Borrowing Binge, There Was A Housing Boom. You Want To Help People De-leverage And Deal With Those Debts Over Time.

A Generous Basic State Pension Is The Least A Civilized Society Should Offer Those Who Have Worked Hard And Saved Through Their Whole Lives.

I Think You Can Look At The British Economy With Confidence.
