True, but that can't be ALL the government's fault? Or is it?
Well, the squeezing you bit is - on a wider scale, both the current and last government were subject to global issues that pretty much every other country is is subject to, so that was (to some extent) unavoidable, however they could certainly be making things a hell of a lot easier for people.
Just to demonstrate some things I find insane... 8% of my income is on gas/electric, 5.5% is council tax, 10% is on petrol, 32% of my wage is on my mortgage, I could go on, but you see very quickly how people are left with next to nowt to live on.
This government needs to get a firm grip on regulating certain markets, however I can't see a Tory government re-nationalising what they privatised in the first place or limiting (virtually) unchecked free-market economics.
