She also plans to stop non-essential spending on consultants and sell off surplus property.

She means privatisation.

Those findings led the government to accuse the Conservatives of making significant funding commitments for this financial year “without knowing where the money would come from”.

  1. They refuse to increase spending by creating new money because it'll hit their City of London imposed rules.

  2. They refuse to raise taxes on the rich because they work for them.

  3. Because they can't increase spending without pushing the deficit beyond their self imposed limits or raise taxes on the rich to give them more room within their limits, the only "solution" is to tax the poor.

  4. Taxing the poor is ridiculous not just because they don't make much money but also due to reduction in total demand. With people having less money, stuff won't sell and capitalists will start firing workers etc....
