    Because the government makes a lot of tax on all the interest payments.

    How credit works- why cant UK PLC do this??

    It is the month of October and it is raining.

    The little French town is totally deserted. These are tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.

    He enters the town's only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the desk, and asks the manager if he can go upstairs to inspect the rooms before deciding which one to stay in for the night.

    The manager takes the 100 Euro note and quickly runs to pay his debt
    to the butcher. The butcher takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay
    his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the 100 Euro note
    and runs to pay his debt to the feed merchant. The feed merchant takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town’s prostitute that in these hard times, gave her services on credit.

    The prostitute runs to the hotel and gives the manager the 100 Euro note to pay for the rooms she rented when she brought her clients there. The manager then lays the 100 Euro note back on the desk.

    At that moment, the rich tourist comes downstairs after inspecting the rooms and takes back his 100 Euro note, saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.

    No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt,
    and looks to the future with a lot of optimism. Isn't life wonderful!
