| Message | Once again, the SED uses a whole lot of empty rhetoric but refuses to answer the very simple question that we have now asked three times. What happens in 3.5 years time when you have spent the surplus that took 20 years to accumulate? Will you massively raise taxes, therefore forcing businesses to close? Will you massively cut public spending, therefore hurting the poorest members of society? Will you continue to run 100 billion DUM deficits, therefore saddling future generations with a massive debt? - Alexandra Lubbers, finance spokesperson for the Konservative Partei. |
