observer Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Seems an Economic "Think Tank" has come up with three options on how we're going to pay back the national debt over the next decade or so:- 1) A 10% cut in public service provision. 2) A 35p tax rate. 3) Increasing the retirement age to 70. Which do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Perhaps the Government ministers could forego their inflated pensions to offset some of the debt. Are they any worse than the people who run the banks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
