Why isn’t the government cutting the Broon Labour deficit faster?

Because telling government departments that they can’t have money the country doesn’t have goes through the political spin machines. Thus the virtue of Tory thrift, after processing by Labour, becomes The Cuts by heartless bastards who want to grind the faces of the weak and the poor into the dust for the fun of it.
    And that’s a lot of political hatred to neutralize, come election time.
