I have a couple of suggestions that WILL HELP, not may but will help, you reduce your borrowing.
1: Stop giving/wasting billions away to foreign countries
2: Stop giving/wasting billions to the EUSSR, same 1 really
See its easy to reduce your borrowing levels without hammering your own citizens, all that money of ours that you and Dave give/throw away could be used here at home, yes here in the UK...and heres the rub, youlll get kudos for doing it, and that equates to votes and you know how much Dave and the rest of you like votes, and you know what votes means dont you George ?!....yes I thought so.

There are many things George could do to reduce borrowing. The cuts have not gone any way near far enough and coupled with your two excellent points amount to our current problem.
But don't hold your breath, looks to me like Dave is trying to loose the next election so dear old labour still get to sort out the mess they created. This coupled with the fact the right-on liberals would never let him do what should be done.
And if they get in you will realize what austerity really is by the time the Union dinosaurs have finished.

Dear Baz
When giving advice to the treasury it's often a good idea to actually look at the numbers
The UK's social security spend is about 30 times its foreign aid budget and 20 times its contribution to the EU.
Anybody with even the smallest amout of commercial sense knows you cannot cut your way to the top
If you're in trouble you have to make more money
------------G R O W T H------------------
How do you grow an economy?
Well you do lots of spending cuts and reduce public confidence by continually telling everybody what a dire position we're in don't you?
DUH!!!!
Stop leaving it up to the private sector because they're not delivering growth
Invest in the country to get more people back to work = less social security payments = more taxable income = more people with money in their pockets = more private sector growth = more money to pay back the deficit
This strategy failed for Margaret Thatcher, it's failed for George Osbourne
It's the simple minded attempt to apply the economics of the housewife to a nation state
And it's the reason that every Tory PM since McMillan has lead the country into recession

@JTP
I merely suggested two of the myriad ways that easily sprang to mind so that George would have more cash to use on whats really needed at home, and therefore need to borrow less to pay for whatever he needs to pay for.
"Anybody with even the smallest amout of commercial sense knows you cannot cut your way to the top "
Judging by that comment you obviously have none whatsover
Are you seriously suggesting that it wouldnt be worth saving the billions I mentioned because in your opinion its too small an amount to save ?

Hi jake- I too was brought up on Keynesian Economics which was still fashionable among the Economics professors in the 1970s, but I think the arguments you put forward are too simplistic.
You say: "Invest in the country to get more people back to work = less social security payments = more taxable income = more people with money in their pockets = more private sector growth = more money to pay back the deficit ".
But that initial investment costs money and so more borrowing is needed. That means the interest debt goes up and the interest rates the government pays goes up. Has that been factored into your theory?

Ab Editor, perhaps you didn't read the first sentence of Youngmafbog's second paragraph above which reads in part..."labour still get to sort out the mess they created." Surely a perfect answer to your question..."Who blamed labour Dave?"
