How to Save 100 Billion - Live.
On the eve of the emergency budget announcement, in a live hour-long debate, Dispatches sets out controversial cuts that could save Britain 100 billion. Krishnan Guru-Murthy presents a team of experts who believe their radical proposals could get Britain's budget back in shape; but can the nation stomach such swinging cuts or tax increases? Ideas such as: placing VAT on food and children's clothing, slashing benefits for the middle classes; cutting defence spending and merging our three armed forces; reducing the pay of public service workers and closing down final salary pension schemes. Should Britain bite the bullet on our most sacred cow, the NHS, and charge those on higher incomes for GP visits or roll out a system of health insurance? A studio of 800 people will vote for or against these cuts.
