[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8119523, member: 86168"] the money will have to come from the consumer, they have to buy food. expensive holidays, cars, eating out, mobile phones, computer games etc, will have to be curtailed, the money, or credit, to pay for them, will be spent on food and energy. The next problem, will come from the fact, that food is not taxed, the others are, less tax for the treasury. It could well mean, organic food demand, will drop, as the 'niche' market foods might well find. All the the firms, suppling luxury goods, or services, could see similar drops in demand, the money won't be there, for a large percentage of consumers. All this when guv is expected to face increased demands, and repayments, for the huge sums borrowed. Guv, will get the blame, always does, but what can it actually do, both food inflation, and high energy prices, are not controlled by guv, but by the world mkt place. Can it actually afford to borrow more money, even should it borrow more ? What happens if we go into recession again, as seems possible. Very thankful l am not a politician, having to sort this mess out. I am sure, many think, like me, everything has got to a silly point, and some sort of rebalancing, is needed, and this may well be it. [/QUOTE]
