and now here is my rant:
You don't buy a house with money you have - you get a loan.
You no longer get free university education - you get a loan.
If you happen to be a child you face constant criticism of the cost to the taxpayer of your growing up.
The way personal responsibility and personal economising is portrayed when shall we stop? Should we scrap taxation and pay for everything we need ourselves? If we have no money - we can get a LOAN.

We all know that the country is in the global recession - why pay off the debt now?
We had higher relative levels of debt in the past and we survived.

What % of wealth does the top 1% command? If they and you want / can afford to pay off the debt ASAP, please lead the example. For the first time in my life I will get into more debt in order to survive, and I don't think it's fair that the country's debt is transferred to me in this way. I didn't cause the global mess, and I am ending up with higher debt.

GO is not claiming Child Benefit - ha, good for him . He is still not sacrificing his lifestyle. Don't take it away from people who need it. What are DC and GO's sacrifices in all this? Or what changes to their life they will have to implement in facing their own proposals?
