Chances missed in a short-termist budget | Letters

It's all about being 'fiscally responsible' but where's the vision for the future? 
We need more investment in renewable energy and infrastructure, not just tweaks to income tax thresholds 
The budget sounds like a step in the right direction for struggling families but I'm worried it's just a Band-Aid on a bigger problem 
. It seems like they're trying to please everyone but in doing so, they've neglected the bigger picture - climate change and AI are real threats that need more than just short-term fixes 
. What if instead of freezing income tax thresholds for high-earners, they used that money to create jobs in green tech or renewable energy? That would be a more sustainable solution 
. And what about closing those CGT loopholes - it's not like the government is struggling to come up with ways to increase revenue 
. It just feels like short-termism taking center stage and I don't think that's going to cut it for our economy in the long run

, you know I had the craziest dream last night where I was a master chef whipping up the most epic burgers ever 
but anyway back to this budget... didn't they used to have those TV shows where people were always like "it's not just about being a good cook it's about having a good work-life balance"? kinda like with politics, right?

! they're all about jamming today rather than making a plan for tomorrow. funding social & environmental jobs would've been a game changer but instead they're just going to appease the bond market and their backbenchers 
. can't believe they missed out on closing those CGT loopholes, £16.7bn is a lot of money ! teachers & nurses are getting hit with increased costs while high-earners get to keep more of their hard-earned cash . we need some real change here not just empty promises
