Skunnered Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Just stumbled across this thread. Isn't every child in Britain born with a debt of £17,000 (*cough* if the tories are to be believed) due to Gordon Brown's incessant borrowing? If this is the case then the poultry sum of £250 seems like a bit of a slap in the face, no?Actually, if the National Debt reaches £1.4 Trillion, as expected, then the debt per head will be nearer £22,000.Scary!!

bug Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just a thought - If everyone was to pay back their £22K on the same day there would be either one huge pile of 10ps in Whitehall and a lot very slimmed down mattresses - or a huge overdraft in the banks? But then again I suppose there is??? So Who owes what to whom??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnSaxon Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Who owes what to whom??? Come to that, what exactly is it that's owed? Most currencies seem to have decoupled from the gold standard, and all you ever see is bits of paper "promising to pay" and digits in computers, all floating about in "value" according to the whims of the people who help themselves to most of it anyway. We're supposed to have confidence in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
