The post you are reporting:
The thread was purported to be about a deficit-free UK.
A deficit-free UK would mean not having a debt attached to the annual budget, and no Government borrowing.
Any intelligent comment I write on the subject is just distorted and cut to pieces on a systematic scale by the usual few.
That's about the long and the short of it.
But what we have, at Government level, is a deficit-economy, and a debt-economy, with Public Debt much greater than the annual budget, and private debts even greater than the Public Debt, and large-scale unemployment, and the Government using Austerity to "bring the economy on track".
Which brings us back to to the thread title.
The only other thing I'd write here, when all else has failed, and with an eye on world developments where very much the same problems are hitting numerous other countries, is think well on how to overcome what may be around the corner.
Because when the Government promises to use Austerity now and for years to come, which it does repeatedly, it means it has already rejected Prosperity and will not solve any problems.
And don't forget to keep an eye open for knock-on effects in the economy from other countries gone bankrupt.
Austerity is an ugly mask, and my guess is, we might end up with ration coupons.
