Whatever happened to the Age of Austerity that Cameron was telling us about for the last year?
// A Conservative government would usher in a new "age of austerity" David Cameron said today.
"Over the next few years, we will have to take some incredibly tough decisions on taxation, spending and borrowing – things that really affect people's lives," Cameron warned.
The age of austerity demanded responsible politics, he said.

When the public rejected this message and the Tories were losing points in the opinion polls, they changed their tune and began promising tax cuts and spending on expensive drugs, and no cuts to services for a year, all paid for with fantasy money they are calling efficiency savings.
In short they have made a massive U-turn, and they are making up promises on the hoof without any real idea of how we will pay for them.
