Autumn statement: George Osborne refuses to learn the lessons of the past

George Osborne (L) and Danny Alexander (R) leave the Treasury in central LondonGetty

The Chancellor likes to talk about taking 'tough decisions' and 'cleaning up Labour's mess'.  Truth be told, he does neither.

From the national level - where our debt continues to rise - to the family level - where schemes like Help-to-Buy are fueling another potentially disastrous housing bubble - George Osborne refuses to learn the lessons of the past.

Good news.

Now, stop pumping money in with QE.

Keep cutting the budget defecit and when you balance the budget so that expenditure is the same as tax receipts, DO NOT STOP.

Get expenditure BELOW tax receipts, build up a rainy day fund and then start paying off the structural defecit.
