From the Nazigraf blogsite.................

Forget Prudence, forget stability, Alistair Darling's 2009 Budget buzzword was: "investment" - with 34 mentions.

It beat "recovery," with 22, "recession," 19, "growth," 19, "confidence," seven, "global recession," six, "unemployment," six, "fairness," five, "opportunities," three, and "green," three.
