Their entire argument is about the size of government debt, which many economists indeed think will have an impact on the length of the recession, and the medium-term strength of the economy – but has nothing to do with the what caused the initial problem. Dough-faced Dave and George – whose combined economic ignorance is notorious in Notting Hill toff circles – like to mix up government debt with personal and corporate debt, which were indeed relevant to the start of the crisis. So, in summary, would they have dodged the credit crunch? No.
