		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Alistair Darling and Lord Mandelson (on Today and Sky News respectively) both used the same phrase to explain their opposition to stopping the National Insurance increase. They both said that it would &#8220;take money out of the economy&#8221;. Let&#8217;s examine that claim. 1. On what planet is giving money back to the people and [...]]]></description>

Oh dear. It&#8217;s all rather unedifying, both the system and the squabble about how to make ever so slightly less dysfunctional. Certainly recent evidence suggests that US psychiatric units are shutting their doors to many [...]]]></description>

The hundreds of billions for bailing out banks or &#8220;stimulating&#8221; the economy are far more significant than the millions claimed by MPs. Whether the money comes from taxation, borrowing (deferred taxation), or inflation (taxation by stealth), it is theft from the [...]]]></description>

The &#8220;Poverty Trap&#8221; (also known as the &#8220;unemployment trap&#8221; or the &#8220;welfare trap&#8221;) means any situation where the costs of moving into work are greater than the increase in income, caused by means-tested benefits. A very simplistic example would be where the government gave £5,000 to everyone [...]]]></description>

It is becoming more and more common-place to claim that religion is not only misguided but the root of much evil in the world. However, it is far too simplistic to claim that it is an institutional belief in God which has [...]]]></description>
