The Chancellor's move to meet with public sector workers and consult with them on where best to make public spending cuts - has provoked a furious response from the Unions, with both Unite and the GMB accusing George Osborne of asking millions of workers to suggest how they should be sacked.
Likewise, Labour maintain that the Coalition's huge cuts in spending are borne out of an ideological belief in the need to reduce the size of the state rather than sound economics.
And there is no doubt in my mind that asking readers of the Tory-supporting Sun newspaper to give their ideas on where cuts should be made will further legitimise the dead end to which this fledgling Coalition is leading this country.
The only question that still needs answering is how quickly we will go back in to recession.
