This is absolutely wrong! Everyone knows that the way to build a succesful economy is borrow money from all over the place, print more of it if necessary and then spend it on bloated public sector IT projects and LGBT outreach workers. No need to worry about the bill for all this; you can push that onto the next generation of taxpayers who don't get to vote about it now anyway. This is no way to run an economy!

So in one month which isn't the highest the Govt is borrowing half amount necessary to build strategic High Speed 2 over period of 10 years?
That just shows clearly the scale of the debt problem - lots of money raised but wtf they are going.Comment

The ony way to build a sucessful economy is to raise taxes all round, make running a company very unprofitable, allow loads of companies to collapse, create as many non jobs as possible in public sector vehicles like councils, NHS, BBC, MOD etc, slowly dump the population in these bloated elephants so they become dependent on the state, borrow billions to run these elephants, sell Gold so that more billions can be raised, give away huge PPI contracts for building schools and hospitals so that these expenditures can be off balance sheet etc etc
