Budget - good or bad?

Well, after listening to yesterday's budget from Mr Darling, and then reading some of the paper's today I am now even more convinced that he, and the rest of our wonderful government, are brain dead. This is a budget for recovery and will help the normal, working person. What planet is he on? Booze tax up 2%, tobacco tax up 2% - that's hot pretty much everyone of us in some way. And the pubs n clubs, as all the drinks are going to be more expensive, so i know that i will have at least one less drink each time i go out. May not seem like much, but multiple that 1 drink sale lost by 52, and that's just me. How many other's will do the same? And petrol, going up again in September. more money from the pocket, less to spend on clothes etc n help the recovery! And the ISA changes, great if we had any money left to save! My mate is out of work, and this so called mortgage relief package - where is it? no one knows anything about it, not even the job centre or benefits people. Let alone how to claim it!
