Anyone who is in debt or who has been in debt knows that the sooner the debt repayment starts, the less money is actually needed to clear the debt.
Gordon Brown doesn't want to do this for short term benefit to himself!
To go into the election promising , as Brown has been doing, money all over the place is a very cynical attempt to gain political credence for himself at the expense of the tax payers of the UK.
Brown knows that the longer he leaves it before starting to repay debt , then the longer we will be paying increased taxes and the greater the amount of money that is needed to clear the debts of this Labour government!
Cameron wants to start debt repayment as soon as possible. In the long term this is the best approach.
Brown and New Labour's time in power has been a disaster. How can anyone expect the people who have so completely failed to run the country properly to be the people who are competent enough to get us out of the mess they caused!
