He argues that the EU Commission is forcing us to cut back too fast which will remove demand from the economy and will make unemployment now at 420,000 people much worse. He condemns the Commission for poor regulation of the Eurozone especially here in Ireland where they predicted that our economy would grow by 3.5% whereas we contracted by around 10%. The €4 billion cut in spending next year will cut 2% off economic activity. We need an economic stimulus to get gthe economy moving. That will mean action on bank lending and a bit of government muscle.
