Why Tories are so shit at economics - in a nutshell

Right wing governments always want to cut back on public spending because when they actually do have to spend money they have no clue how to do it.

They have no idea what anything costs. 

No sense of value vs price. 

They are taken in by any smooth talking snake oil sellers - because the right wing power structure has no actual connection with reality as it pertains to anyone who isn’t themselves.

Because they don't care about how things actually work, they assume everyone is well off enough to get through.

They lack the vital understanding that people are forced to be amazingly and tragically inventive when they/we have no money: we make it through somehow despite the lack of cash. This is something most Tories have no experience of. It's like trying to explain colours to someone born blind.

Right wing governments don't like spending money cause THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
