Prog Blog's comment on the budget

Check out this:

Tax cuts are not tax cuts unless they are accompanied by matching spending cuts -- otherwise they are merely tax deferrals, taxes are just pushed into the future with interest added. 

...

Spending increases financed with debt instead of current tax increases 
are tax increases, with the taxes to arrive at a future date.

John Key and Bill Engish are tax raisers! oh the irony.

If they are going to raise taxes - couldn't they spend the money on something, uh, worthwhile? Something that would maybe create some jobs?
