No triple A, just triple dip (ctd.)

Here in the UK, it's Budget day. It seems our debt is still rising, due mainly to a complete lack of economic growth, and the threat of an unprecedented triple dip recession (predicted even by AHN as far back as September 2011) is still with us. Today's budget contained more of the same failed economic policies, and I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the Cabinet really is brain dead. So, for the benefit of our readers in government, here's another reminder of what John Maynard Keynes (he of sound economic sense) looked like. This portrait of 'The Memoir Club' [NPG] is by Vanessa Bell. Keynes is at the centre, next to his wife, Lydia Lopokova.
