£2.3bn on flood defences http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30282701
£15bn on roads http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30269231
£2bn for the NHS http://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/house-of-commons-30286461
..... and they are already committed to spending god knows what on HS2, guestimates are £50bn plus.
This looks an awful lot like Keynesian economics to me.
But where is the money coming from ? In a week where it is announced that a third care home for vulnerable/disabled adults is to close in Cornwall the week before Xmas, and that those currently housed in this supported living environment are to be made homeless with local social services both clueless and seemingly uninterested I find myself asking is this money being spent in the right places.
"We're all in it together" Mr Cameron says....... my arse!
With any luck by the time any social or economic benefits come from these plans the present shower of pointless politicos will have been voted out and there will be a mixed coalition based around social justice in power.
