As clear as mud

A spokesman for the SNP is reported as saying that there is a "fundamental distinction" between monetary policy and fiscal policy. Is Calton the only one struggling to work out what that distinction is? Given that the spokesman doesn't seem to have enlarged upon his comment, do the SNP know what the distinction is? Or is this just more ill-informed, seat-of-the-pants waffle designed to thoroughly bamboozle the Scottish electorate? It certainly isn't engendering confidence up in Calton's eyrie that the SNP actually know what they are talking about when it comes to monetary/fiscal policy. A Treasury spokesman has said that the Scottish government's proposals remain "totally unclear". You can't get much clearer than that as a vote of no confidence. And the SNP want us to trust them with the economy of an independent Scotland? Calton would rather have mud in his eye.
