    Default Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default

    Where did these massive debts come from, if spending money works so well? The UK economy should be doing great, as we had a decade of increasing spending. You seem to want to focus on measures to rectify the deficits without acknowledging how they got there. The UK has a AAA rating mainly as it is managing to show it can repay debts. Greece spent its way into its current situation.

    I'm not interested in ideologies, making announcements that in principle make things better but in practice worse, such as increasing taxes just because.
