George Osborne's cutting plans today

Today is the day. George Osborne is about to tell us what's in store for us by way of hardships and hefty cuts. I'm getting all doubtful about what is best. All I know is that we've been playing with monopoly money for too long. Something has to give. The only problem is who gives more and who gives less. Being all in it together implies the tax avoiders are going to cough up as much as the soon-to-be redundant state workers.

I wouldn't mind if we all had an equal shot at trying to reduce the deficit but just as in wartime, when some were active backsliders, we must be on our guard for those who think this debt crisis is nothing to do with them. We'll see in just over an hour!
