Forgive me for asking a few stupid questions, but I'd love to know the following with source of reference given
1. what is the current national debt
2. what is the national income v expenditure (and consequent shortfall)?
3. how much have we borrowed since the bank guarantee / bailout and how much do we have to pay back and when does it have to be paid back by?
4. how much is the annual interest that we have to pay?
5. how are we performing??
If anyone can point me in the direction where i can find these figures easily, I would appreciate it.
I feel like an absolute idiot talking abut how bad the economy is when i haven't a clue of the basic facts and figures.
please feel free to add any other basic facts/ stats that we should be aware of.
