Half the world has the same queen . <| sep |> I ' ve already stated that private debt is completely irrelevant to gdp or government debt . However much you try you cannot take private debt into account when analysing govt finances . That ' s ridiculous . The spend some money make more money hasn ' t worked for a LONG TIME and the returns are diminishing completely . Entirely incorrect , as demonstrated by the past 6 years . During the first Labour regime a one percent GDP increase amounts to the economy growing by about 14 billion pounds . But over the same period the government borrowed about thirty billion pounds and injected it into the economyWhat point are you trying to make ? If inflation is 2 % as the targets set then our debt didn ' t increase at all . The benefits of investment is that generally it leads to more value than the initial expense . Except yeah hold on to your hat the UK is spending 1000 to make 400 . Now you don ' t need to be a mathematician to realise this is a bad deal . I do realise it ' s a bad deal . As i keep repeating it ' s due to godawful tory policy . If they followed actual competent economic policy we wouldn ' t have this situation
