If Money Week's prescription for fixing the national debt was followed by any of our parties, Cable Forum couldn't contain all the threads moaning about welfare cuts.

Yes. Rather a lot of that is interest payments on debts run up by Labour. The rest is due to our STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. You do know what one of those is, don't you? It's just that the way you're on here every day moaning about Tory Cuts, anyone would think you don't believe there's actually much of a problem.
