I've been thinking about this a lot lately and although I don't know much about economics it has strict me that whilst at the same time the Gvt has proposed massive spending cuts in councils etc, they are also proposing spending millions on HS2, road expansion and flood defences ( all works that benefit men in terms of employment ). How can they justify this if they are on the one hand claiming that cuts to public spending are unavoidable. Am I stupid or do I just not understand how this is fair or makes any sense..? Any ideas??
