However, they are a bit dim, so expect a further slowdown in the economy.     

So I'm wondering, in that case, if the fiscal easing and generally slower approach to lessening the debt, as envisaged by the former Chancellor/s, is as valid as the actions presently being taken?

The fiscal easing of 2.5% vat was useful, but arguably not dramatic enough (5%?) and there should not have been a time limit. Also, there was no action proposed to control increases in public spending. All-in-all, half right, IMHO. Just like our current crew. B- mark for them all.

It reminded me of someone I once knew who spent and borrowed like there was no tomorrow.

He had a great lifestyle while the "prudent" among us only had a mortgage we could afford. We bothe started off at the same point on the housing market. By the time I got to a 40,000 house and a 1982 Vauxhall Viva he had a £230,000 house and a new BMW. His attitude was if he died his debt would be wiped out. Sadly he was probably right. I lost touch with him but often wonder where he is now!

The frightening thing about the national debt is that the people not yet born are going to have to pay it off. oh and it is still INCREASING not going down

They stopped making Vivas in 1979
