Tory DOOM™: Cars

[northernladyuk]

Why can they build more cars (that depreciate) and can't build enough houses?

Because the UK is full of cretins who are content to sleep on a semen stained sofa in a flat above an Aston kebab shop, as long as they can write off a ghastly 'luxury' car every year.

Dividend tax stopped me buying a new car this year. I put the money in my pension instead. I'm sure plenty of others did the same thing.

With all the debt instruments they've invented to allow people to spend now what they hope to receive in the future, I'm surprised there isn't one to put a mortgage style charge on a pension for spending now, so could lease/buy a car paid from future pension payouts.

The attraction would be that (as with the original appeal of interest only mortgages) the current debt would reduce in real terms over a few decades, if we ever went back to non-'emergency' levels of interest rates and wage inflation that is.
