Individuals no, but collectively yes. Maybe not consciously, but politicians took one off windfalls from privatisation and squandered it leaving us where we are today. 2 trillion in debt.

I'm interested in how 2 trillion is sustainable but 2.2 trillion and holding state assets - like broadband networks - isn't.

Secondly, what do you (with a self confessed greater understanding of economics) suggest as a 'genuine alternative' to what is currently on offer from both Lab & Cons . . or even Lib Dems?
The starting point is for politicians to be honest that the low tax economy is essentially a deception funded from one off windfalls.
