Ainsworth: "A Fall saved is a Fall earned!"

In a recent visit to a car manufacturer, Secretary of State Bob Ainsworth gave a speech to business leaders from across the manufacturing sector.
"The government is appreciative to the car industry for giving up production to help with the war effort in building armoured and transport vehicles for the Armed Forces. It truly has been a great help and its something I know you are all proud of - we, too, are proud of you all. Your dedication shall not be forgotten, history shall judge you kindly, let me assure you of that. 
It is no secret that our economy is currently in a very dark pit and has been declining at a vast pace for a long time now. War does not help any economy; war does not help anything. But we are coming to an end of these difficult times. It is therefore only right we prepare for the long run. Post facto, are we going to be able to rebuild our economy to fund all the things which we have cut to fund this war? Art projects? Schools? Our children, their future, our future?
Citizens of the Empire, business leaders of the world, I ask something of you: conserve, conserve, conserve! A Fall saved is a Fall earned! There's fewer food on the shelves, there's less clothes on the racks and there is less gasoline at the local pump. You needn't spend so much on daily life. Until this war is over, I ask you save! Why, why not spend? hen we restore to a normal, functioning economy we will need you to spend, spend, spend. But while you can afford to save, you really ought to. Save up your Fall enthusiastically while you can.
When are boys are home then, yes, you ought to splash out of them. Until then, wait for the arrival on your doorstep, it will be sooner than you think. 
It is crucial to National Service that production is up, but spending down. While it is true we don't want to over-produce, we don't want to spend our way into a harsher recession, or worse, a depression. Don't make that mistake!"
