The Big Bad Budget

The budget has been looming over us for the last few weeks. Both Cameron and Osborne have been dropping us titbits of how bad it will be, warnings of the potential pain it will cause, and spreading a general dark cloud.

Perhaps optimistically, but I am of the feeling that so much doom-spreading is merely there to make us feel better when the real thing happens this afternoon. By expecting the worse, we can only be pleasantly surprised when things don't turn out as badly as anticipated.

Or perhaps I am too idealistic. I shall have to let you know whether the optimism is spot-on or severely misplaced.
