The government haven't got 32billion ,they will have to raise 32billion over the next 10-15yrs.It's totally incorrect to assume that 32billion is sitting in the government vaults waiting to be spent .Most of that money will be borrowed .It is more correct to say that the government can afford to spend the money because savings made mean we can afford to borrow the money
