摘要

If Ordinary citizens took as much satisfaction in ever-rising quantities of public spending as Gordon Brown does, Britain would be the most contented country on the planet. The chancellor of the exchequer, who announced new three-year spending plans on July 15th, positively luxuriates in his generosity with other people's money. As a spectacle, it is certainly indecent. Is it bad policy? Mr Brown, one has to acknowledge, spares no effort to prove otherwise. Public spending, he confirmed, is planned to rise from ￡420 billion ($650 billion) in the current fiscal year to ￡510 billion in 2005-06, a rise of ￡90 billion, equivalent to an additional ￡3,600 a- year for each British household. A very large increase, Mr Brown boasted, but one he says is both financially sound and guaranteed to be cost-effective. He expects to pass his self-imposed fiscal tests-keeping the current budget in balance over the course of the economic cycle, and holding public-sector debt at 40% of GDP or less-without difficulty. And he and his officials continue to pile objectives, targets, contracts, charters, watchdogs, commissions, inspectors and auditors on anything that moves. Value for money is paramount, Mr Brown assures. Additional funds will go to programmes that work; failure will be starved (see page 31).
