Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 22 April, 2011 Share Posted 22 April, 2011 I still maintain that Gordon Brown did not personally cause most the problems we were in and actually was part of the world solution. It's called capitalism and that means ups and downs, but I think the problem was we didn't regulate the banks enough and that was the entire world's problem. I also think that this recession was part of a natural realignment of the worlds wealth. It's all going east now. do you mean booms and busts?

Saintandy666 Posted 22 April, 2011 Share Posted 22 April, 2011 do you mean booms and busts? Yes, it is part of the natural cycle of upturns and downturns, or booms and busts. Please do not now quote Gordon Brown, we all know the quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 22 April, 2011 Share Posted 22 April, 2011 Why? Does it not counter your argument that Gordon Brown is a shrewd economist? Not really. I judge people by their actions, not their words. And my argument is that he did not cause the recession and that he was a huge part of the solution. That quote has nothing to do with that.

Well we may have to agree to differ on that because I believe that he either believed he had genuinely ended boom and bust in which case he is an idiot or he was telling a lie which makes him a liar.
