Budgets mean a lot for households. I'm studying Buisness at school and we learnt that it's a big point in the economy of a country. Budgets make your lifestyle.

By the way, petrol, drink,fags, tax may take part in the budgets because how are you going to pay all of this ? It's not hard to understand, at all. It's very useful, just ask your parents what they think about that.

I find them quite interesting. funny thing that most ppl find them boring. like i can sit and watch the state opening of parliment and stuff like that which most ppl consider boring.
But na budgets are quite important and every year i make sure i watch it.
I find it quiet interesting really, after all it's important to take an interest in matters that have an effect in our everyday life.

Aye they are boring, the Government sitting around working how much money they are gonna squeeze out of the people who have worked hard for it
I think theyre boring but at the same time they are interesting. I can't believe you think it won't affect you.

Obviously, by reading this post, the goverment i realise have made a awfull budget!
What about schooling! :tongue:
No, without budgets are country would be a mess. People moan about increases, but they are needed.

I think the increases on cigarettes, petrol and alcohol are things that nobody can complain about really. We're running out of oil, so it's only natural it costs more. And cigarettes and alcohol are harmful, so it acts as a deterrent (albeit a not very effective one).

I most here have misundrstood what I was on bout. I know that the budget is important and I know things go upanddown. But Mr Darling ws talking bout plenty of boring stuff too. Most which none of us to me would mean anthing, it's boring and useless

The government claim they are needed.
For all the taxes we pay, we never see any improvement in this country...
Labour just tax and spend and tax and spend.

Two words:
Binge drinking.
It's as serious a problem as fatty foods.
Having said that, whilst fatty foods may be a problem - what right do the government have to tell us what to eat?

Well it'd be good as a temporary measure, until the World Economy heals

Surely the cost of everday items rise. Surely people need hospitals and schools. Surely the taxes will need to rise.

I wouldnt say they are exactally worse. But fatty foods have no tax on them, yet a big sector of the NHS budget goes on those overweight. If you are larger, you will generally have a worse health.

Maybe so, but all you ever hear/see in the news is about how the NHS are blowing money on this and that, and how test scores are low, etc.
I thought, when you raise taxes, that services such as hospitals and schools are meant to improve :puzzled:

Yet do we here on the news how Bill richards (Made Up) was cured from cancer? The media tends to focus, usually, on the worst sides of the NHS, not the amount of times it has helped people.
And who says school arent improving? Just look back 50 years.

But surely, for the amount of taxes that we pay, that there shouldn't be any bad side to the NHS? :thumbs:

A lot of the money pays for operations
If we lived in America, we would have to pay for out Healthcare, Operations that cost thousands dont need to be paid to save a life

Why should the NHS pay someone £119 an hour to sort out its financial problems when they could be using that money to clean hospital wards or buy new equipment?

I admit 119 pound (Keyboard messed up) is alot, but then, that 119 pounc could sort out the finacil issues for the future.

But why the hell does someone deserve £119 an HOUR to work out the NHS' financial problems?
With all the money they get they shouldn't have that many to work out, surely?
Oh no, I forgot why they have financial problems - they hire more and more people to do pointless jobs and pay them over the top salaries to do so!

Strongly disagree. Nurses are on one of the poorest wages you can get for a trained profession. Most get paid around £19,000 with a high up nurse being paid £25,000.
I know you are on about £119/hour but I'm on about general over staffing and underpayments.

I said pointless jobs, not nurses :thumbs:

So why not get rid of those who have pointless jobs like sorting out financial problems, or reduce the huge salaries these people get?
