The economy

Cameron could be trying to promise all things to all people, which is my bet.
He's trying to say that he's come up with an idea that will confound all pre-existing economic thought. Just like that.
There are two ways to play this:
1) Reduce the debt with a long-term view, simular to what Thatcher did in the 80s.
2) Grow our way out of the debt, like Gordy is proposing.
I'd imagine the main parties' approach to this problem will go down party lines.

I'd much prefer this debate to be in Parliament rather than at the CBI.
