£1.3 trillion in the hole according to Institute of Fiscal Studies and rising by about £80 billion a year, we are paying nearly £50 billion a year just making the interest payments on the debt. Yet all we keep hearing from the talking heads is how they will add 1% to national insurance raising £7 billion a year. £7 billion??? For fucks sake that is a drop in the ocean and won't even be going towards clearing the national debt either.
Did Gordon Brown make the recession worse than it should have been? | FinancialAdvice.co.uk
How can we justify spending £100 billion on a new nuclear weapons program with those debt levels?
Many of you will probably disagree but the only way to sort these problems is to start making massive savings raising tax and slashing spending. The current financial model we are running is going to see this country bankrupt within a decade because the interest payments end up so high that even massive taxation will not be enough to service the debt nevermind reduce it.
