Trump!

[Answerdaquestion]

Trump has ADDED almost $7 TRILLION to the US debt in less than 4 years. Since when is out-of-control spending a GOP platform?

[Jackdaw33]

Who cares? This is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

They aren't obliged to answer that, birdie, so I'm not sure why you are asking.

[Mamyalynne]

Not nice to ask a lady her age.

[jim360]

It's perfectly allowed to ask. But it's also allowed to refuse to answer. Better, then, not to ask (or, at the very least, to ask only once).

[jim360]

Indeed. And it's perfectly allowed for them not to respond, which was the second half of my post that you missed when quoting for some reason :P

It's not really that paramount. You presumably wouldn't change the way you interact with them much. So it's just curiosity, as you say. The response is still the same: we have the right not to answer such questions if we wish.

the GDP of the USA is £20tn, the national debt is 125%. if you owed 1.25 times your annual salary on your house, would you say that is "out of control"?

[gulliver1]

Should the UK also be concerned about Govt Debt. Boris has just Promised ," Hundreds of Millions of £s," to World Health . to help fight Covid. where is Rashi getting all this money from? . Have the Cons found another Magic Money Tree

Gulliver //Have the Cons found another Magic Money Tree//
No, they borrowed Corbyn's when he got deposed.

[youngmafbog]

It is clear to anyone who hasnt lost the family brain cell that COVID is to blame for Worldwide debt.

Would you rather no money was spent by Boris and the rest of the World Gulliver? Sir Kier seems ok with it.

Rishi is borrowing the money, which, as a rich nation we can do. Of Course if Brown hadn't peed our Gold up the wall to buy Euros then we might not have to borrow so much eh?

No there is no magic money tree. Mr Sunak has made it very clear we will have to pay it back through taxes and cutbacks.

well we'll save £350m a week on the EUSSR gully, that'll help!

[youngmafbog]

Interesting that the BA doesn't answer the OP!!

[gulliver1]

12.34 TTT, You are wrong again as usual. Boris is giving that To the NHS ,( remember the Bus.) not World Health. Try again.

[youngmafbog]

I see you have not got the family treasure today then.
