There is no more overused word by the left than “fair.”

Obama was asked if the Lafler curve indicated what he was planning led to getting less revenue why he was doing it. He answered, “Because sometimes it’s just about fairness.”

Oh my, more of in order to ultimately get rid of the Left, you have to strictly enforce it.

“Fair and necessary choices” that “deliver the biggest drive for growth in a generation” still includes hundreds of millions of dollars flushed on the Ukraine money black hole.

When Ukrainian politicians and middlemen get villas in Switzerland, this is fair for the UK taxpayer and will stimulate the UK economy greatly.

IIRC Britain is something like 10% moslem today. And they *all* vote for the Maoist party currently in office. So we can be sure that there are plenty of goodies for the moslems in this budget.

They need more money to fund the invaders.

And cheaper to get rid of jury trials for those that violate speech code complaining about them, along with mandating a digital-ID to control buying/selling/travel/health-care if you don’t comply.

It’s about to get very ugly.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has delivered her Budget after the details were released early by mistake

Income tax thresholds will be frozen until April 2031 - a year longer than expected - meaning more people will pay higher rates

There will also be new taxes on homes worth more than £2m and £5m; a mileage charge for electric vehicles; tax on pension contributions above £2,000; and changes to Isa (IRA) rules

Meanwhile, the two-child cap on means-tested benefits will be lifted

Conservative leader Badenoch calls the Budget a “total humiliation” and says Reeves is hiking taxes to pay for welfare
