OK, this is bothering me and I was tempted to open a post in LOS but hope it can be addressed here... over the past few weeks, time and time again, different politicians have mentioned that we need to have these austerity measures (including household charge) so that we can improve our lending position and return to the markets.
Why on earth is this our goal? Surely, we must have learnt by now that borrowing is not the answer? Surely the goal should be that we are implementing these measures so we don't have to go to the markets? Can anyone explain the logic of this to me????
