That would really be a disaster and to make it worse maybe they will hit investment banking and those banks will piss off.

Borrowed money is exactly that. Borrowed. Which means it needs to be paid back at some point. Did Gordon think it wouldn't be his job to pay it back. Did he think that by employing 800,000 public service workers would boost the economy. And what's the credentials of those who supported him while he was on his gigantic spending spree?

The banking crisis did no more than expose his stupidity sooner.
