Ohhhh..... and by the way, the deficit HAS reduced. It's the DEBT that hasn't!

The 'deficit' is the amount which we spend exceeds what we earn. The debt is the ACCUMULATED deficits over the years.... i.e., the TOTAL that we owe for ALL the previous years not just THIS year!

In personal terms: If you earned £30k and spent £40k your 'deficit' would be £10k each year. If you did that for 2 years, your 'debt' would be £20k. If you got sensible and cut you expenditure in the third year to £30k you'd have cut you £10 deficit to Zero..... but you'd still have £20k debt (plus interest). Put crudely:-

Deficit over time leads to Debt!

Like most politicians, you need to understand the TERMS you are using before you use them!

All that our 'huge cuts' (that's a JOKE!!!) have done is REDUCED the amount we overspend each year, they have NOT cut the deficit to Zero and that's WHY we have actually INCREASED our debts! We'd need HUGE cuts.... R*E*A*L C*U*T*S.... if we want to reduce our DEBT!
