Is spending down because no-one wants to spend or is it that what the markets have pushed us to believe are desirable items/cannot live without items have reached saturation point?

Economics is a great subject to post about, particularly when you don't understand it in any meaningful way.
Let's see..
Child benefit scrapped, if you can't afford kids, you get NOTHING!
JSA scrapped, get them lazy scroats on chain gangs
Scrap the NHS, don't need it, if you can't afford healthcare, DIE!
Cigarettes increased to £10/pack, with a ban within 5 years
Alcohol, minimum price £1/unit with a look to outright ban within 5 years
All prices in shops to be rounded up to nearest 5p, thus eliminating pointless 2p and 1p pieces.
Borders to be closed to immigrants, and all current members of the population with immigrant status, to be deported to their country of origin immediately, if this is not possible, then they can be fed into the nearest power station for reprocessing.
Prison sentences to be increased, prisoners rights to be removed, no lighting, no heat, no sanitation, cells hosed down once a week with pressure hose, bare minimum of food. Dissension will be met with lethal force.
Car owners will be required to justify the ownership of the vehicle they own, 4x4 owners for example had better need to go off-road regularly, and sports car drivers had better have racing licenses etc. Unnecessary vehicles will be scrapped.
Large businesses forced to pay the full tax bill, else be banned from trading in this country, the loss of such businesses will allow for the re-emergence of local trade.
Once a year, all people born on a randomly selected day, will be forced into a one vs one contest, the loser will be executed, and the winner allowed to live for another few years.
Reduce the armed forces, not really needed these days.
Ban the press from constantly scaremongering.
No more social housing, return of the victorian workhouse, or live in the gutter if you are poor, I dont care.
Total end to all foreign aid.
Complete stop of child benefits.
No more government, after all we are ruled by europe, do we need the uk government with their massive wage bill.
End the nhs, need healthcare? then pay for it.
Flat rate for taxation, perhaps 20%
Reduce the armed forces, not really needed these days.
Stop wasting money with green nonsense, build some nuclear power stations.
