Just playing devils advocate. Given that everyone seems to believe that during times of financial instability the government should increase spending as a stimulus, doesn't it equally follow that the Blair/Brown government should have been easing off spending pre the crash?
On that basis regardless of Blair/Brown involvement in the causes of the crash is it not fair to attribute a large part of the deficit and it's associated costs to them?
