Cameron can't really show his hand anyway because he knows that if he tells everyone the truth about what needs to be done, they public will hate him. Just like plenty of scroungers hated Thatcher, but look at the economy she left us.

This is usually the way though; Labour/socialism get into power and cock things up, then the tories are left to sort out the mess.

Thatcher once said "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". Oh how right she was.
