There is a huge stigma attached to the welfare system and those who receive assistance through it.
According to a Citi and YouGov public poll, expectations for inflation over the coming year currently stand at 3pc, compared with 2.9pc in September.
“Inflation expectations for the year ahead have not been higher since September 2008,” Citi economist Michael Saunders said. Inflation was then running at 5.2pc – a 16-year high – compared with 3.1pc currently.
Policymakers are concerned that rising inflation expectations could become self-fulfilling by working through to prices and wage settlements. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, has previously warned: “If that were to occur, it would be costly to bring inflation down.”
Interest rates would have to rise, potentially crippling the recovery which is reliant on a loose monetary policy offsetting the spending cuts and tax rises. Mos
Perhaps the midterm elections will provide a little shakeup to the economy. As economic conditions remain mostly flat, so do mortgage rates. According to the latest edition of HSH.com’s Market Trends Newsletter:

In the last few years, home prices have fallen exponentially — by about 30%. This massive drop in prices has depleted homeowners’ equity, resulting in millions of borrowers owing more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. I’m sure you’ve heard of this infamous phenomenon, it’s known as being “underwater” on your mortgage. As the number of underwater borrowers grew, so did the number of homeowners who simply walked away — a.k.a. strategically defaulted — from their mortgages (voluntarily defaulting, even though you can still afford to make the payments).
