Who created this problem?

What I do not accept is that I, and millions of other people in this country,including students, health care workers, firemen, working families generally, benifit claimants, etc etc should be punished for circumstances which are not of their making. Lets get one fact crystal clear. The present economic situation was caused, created and perpetuated by the Banking and Finacial sectors of this (and other) ecomomies. The New Labour Governements cure for this crisis was to create a bottomless pit of taxpayers money for these inept, incompetent and corrupt organisations to tap into at will, with little if any public control or monitoring of their actions. The bill ran to tens of Billions of Pounds and is still rising on a daily basis with the prospect of pouring more billions into the Irish Banking system within the next few weeks. The previous Government was a financial disaster and the ConDem coalition has perpetuated and expanded the mess. Until such times as this Government (or any Government) get to grips with the fundemental problem and introduce proper and enforceable controls, monitors and balances on the Banks and Financial Institutions, I shall require a great deal of convincing that the British People should pay (in every sense) for the crimes and failings of Governments and "the markets"
