Cuts by Choice

David Cameron is still peddling the line that Britain was forced into the current government cuts by the demands of the market.  Paul Krugman says:

"There was no sign of a crisis of confidence in the UK budget before the May election; the Conservative government chose to embark on austerity, it wasn’t forced into it."

The article is here.  One of Krugman's most commonly made points is that the right in America ignores reality completely.  David Cameron seems to be going the same route.
