Instead of Venezuelan inflation, care to tell us about UK debt private and public ????????

If we were discussing debt, corruption, crime, censorship, one of the worlds least democratic countries, would that be Venezuela or the UK?



You rush to pull the UK down yet if someone gave you the option to live in Venezuela you'd hide under your shell.

There are plenty of problems here in the UK but as of yet the fruitcake socialists haven't had control of the economy.

No- but sadly the 'free market is king' fruitcakes have control instead, and are busy selling off anything that isn't nailed down. As the East Coast Main Line fiasco, Birmingham Prison scandal, Carillion etc show, turns out privatisation isn't always the best option...

Still, the taxpayer can pick up the tab for sorting it all out, before handing it right back to G4S again. Great stuff!

The taxpayer bail out is really an easy argument to poke at the government.
If they suddenly said that tax was going up to pay for these cock ups then I would agree with you.
What exactly is the effect on you by these issues.
I would say not a jot.
Basically the tax as you say that will be used on these cock ups;won't be put to schools,hospitals or other what we would call needed areas.
It will come from the lump that they hold. Here or abroad.
FYI two years ago the money through the government in a year was close to £900,000,000,000
(That's 900 billion)
That's a lot.
So a few million on these issues won't really be noticed or affect you or I.

You're not comparing like with like.

The reason Venezuela doesn't have the levels of debt the UK has is because no right-minded Bank would risk lending money to such a basket-case of a country.

Personal debt is low because no-one accepts or uses credit card payments and no international credit card company would want to risk it. Cash is king. Well, when I say cash, I mean the US dollar.

Venezuela's lack of high debt (compared to the UK) isn't necessarily an example of a responsible fiscal policy.

 


When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

And is in default.

I tried to pay for an orange in the local SPAR with a million Zim note and waiting for change...and the cashier just looked at me...only to then open the cash register and show me that mine was the only note in there!

I left a carrier bag full of cash when i left as I couldnt carry it over the border to Zambia!

Shame you didn't keep some. The 100 trillion dollar notes ($100,000,000,000,000) cost 20p to £1 and are worth £20-£100 each now.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

How many trillions of dollars by the Fed and other central banks worldwide has been printed (from thin-air) on a 10 year buying spree to keep the s*** show up and defraud every short position in the market?
Just last week China dumped who knows how much money into the market to ramp it all up and again yesterday the same thing. It’s a Ponzi scheme beyond comprehension with the crooks owning the printing press.
The entire equity and bond market all depends on how much more money China, the ECB, FED, BOJ and their proxy pump into the market. This is the only thing that matters and it will continue until it all blows up, or is reset.

I'm not talking about currency, I'm talking about the recent coupon defaults.

Yes, the country is (for the time being) screwed, but that could easily happen here.
