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 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).

Kids of 7 years old dont smoke or drink, but they eat, and some of them, too much, it'd be a good idea as it'd help stablise the ecomony when the world is facing a Finacial crash

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?

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
