Letter: Keynesian Budget that relies on free markets

Sir: The Independent certainly cannot be accused of putting forward a one-sided view.

In today's issue, one of your regular commentators (Hamish McRae) says, 'the recovery is probably more secure than the Chancellor yesterday admitted', while another (Christopher Huhne) tells us that 'the recovery is still less well rooted than the Chancellor likes to proclaim'.

Does this reveal more about both your commentators than about either the Chancellor or the recovery?

Yours sincerely,
