Borrowing, Keynesian economics, and a shopping list

[Mekon]

It appears inevitable that more of our money will be used to stimulate the economy, So what big projects do we want?

Good for national pride - check
Potential for massive overspending - check
Afterburners - check

I believe the current economic crisis DEMANDS a replacement for Concorde!

In comparison with the recent spree, it seems rather quaint how we got cross over "only" £700m with the dome, doesn't it?

Stuff that. This is our money , not theirs. And I don't want Brown to effectively borrow in my name to squander it on some left wing, big project wet dream.

Keynesian economics failed in the 70's. It will fail this time.
