Let us know: What do you think of the Budget?

So now that we’ve heard the entire Budget, what do you think? Was it better or worse than you’d expected?

So that’s it – we now know the full details of Budget 2012. But what did you make of it?

Some of the details that came out today included details on who’ll have to pay the Household Charge; the 25c hike on a packet of cigarettes; the tax increases on fuel; and stimulus plans aimed at first-time buyers.

So what do you think? Was it was bad – or worse than – you feared? Or maybe you’d been prepared for worse after all those government ‘leaks’ which never actually materialised? Is there any one area that’s going to affect you?
