Taking money out of the economy?

Why is reversing Labour's NI tax rise taking £6 billion out of the economy?

It seems more sensible to leave £6 billion in the pockets of families and businesses to spend as they see fit rather than giving it to Gordon Brown to waste.

Other people have posted similar things recently, and the answer is, you are right and they are talking rubbish - once govt spending is past a certain level (and we are about double that level) then a govt can neither take money out nor put it back in to 'the economy'. So it'd be better to leave well alone.
