I totally agree in terms of it being counter-productive in many ways. I think it would be a highly self defeating policy. I do think though that the government will consider bringing in more in taxes to spend so that they do less borrowing and printing of money.
We’ve seen how raising taxes can mean more borrowing as the economy slows rather than grows. I hope the Tories close tax loopholes on the rich rather than, say, raising the VAT rate.

Might all get a lot simpler soon
