Tom thinks about the recession


"The UK was staring down the barrell of another recession today after the economy shrank mpore than expected at the end of last year". This was the opening paragraph to an article in the Independent this morning.

The P M, Mr Cameron, described the performance as "disappointing" but i believe he is trying to pass the blame to someone else but he is the P M and he should take ultimate responsibility for everything.

The chancelor,Mr Osborne, said we need to "stick to the coalition government's austerity programme". I agree with Mr Osborne becauseif we keep changing the recovery plan it will just keep getting worse while the government mess around.

I think the solution to this is to raise taxes slightly so the government can start some government buisness meaning a rise in employment and in turn a greater income for the governement. With this extra money they could then start paying off some of our "substancial debts".

Jesus would aggrewith the tax increase because he agreed with it in his own period they were the emporer's coins and the moneyis the government's money.

  1. Mrs Hicks says: My, you have been busy. I enjoyed reading about your opinions on news events. I particularly liked the way you all linked your ideas to what Jesus would have done/ said. Some good thinking going on in this lesson.

    You are all such deep thinkers, keep smiling,
