Money ain't magic

2019-10-09 15:27:54 UTC  

>How are we going to deal with that borrowing?

2019-10-09 15:27:57 UTC  

I'd love to know whose anus they pulled these figures out of

2019-10-09 15:28:02 UTC  

Are we just eternally going to keep borrowing money?

2019-10-09 15:28:08 UTC  

*No.*

2019-10-09 15:28:13 UTC  

I mean yes

2019-10-09 15:28:21 UTC  

Not at that level *

2019-10-09 15:28:26 UTC  

I'll concede that.

2019-10-09 15:28:36 UTC  

There are very very few countries that will every be in equity

2019-10-09 15:28:38 UTC  

This is why zero tariffs is a dumb idea

2019-10-09 15:28:45 UTC  

And they are typically very very small

2019-10-09 15:28:45 UTC  

They need to encourage the domestic market

2019-10-09 15:29:05 UTC  

Zero tariffs is a good idea and will offset some of the economic damage done

2019-10-09 15:29:10 UTC  

Temp zero tariff will be good to keep supply. Lines open

2019-10-09 15:29:10 UTC  

So we can export more stuff...

2019-10-09 15:29:15 UTC  

It's useful

2019-10-09 15:29:35 UTC  

I don't buy it

2019-10-09 15:29:47 UTC  

But nevertheless there are things they can do to offset the damage

2019-10-09 15:29:55 UTC  

I don't care if you buy it, it's the truth

2019-10-09 15:30:14 UTC  

No, it's not "the truth", it's a projection

2019-10-09 15:30:22 UTC  

I don't buy the £100 billion anyhow, don't fully trust the IFS and their speculation

2019-10-09 15:30:31 UTC  

Which in this instance, means borrowing more money

2019-10-09 15:30:34 UTC  

I'm only speaking from a position of experience here

2019-10-09 15:30:35 UTC  

I guess

2019-10-09 15:30:43 UTC  

So yeah

2019-10-09 15:30:48 UTC  

It's a good prediction

2019-10-09 15:31:09 UTC  

End the war on drugs will bring them somewhere between 2 and 5bn a year in revenue and savings

2019-10-09 15:32:40 UTC  

Legalise consumption of some drugs, start selling it, tax it

2019-10-09 15:32:45 UTC  

Not all, obviously

2019-10-09 15:32:46 UTC  

THat's what i mean

2019-10-09 15:33:04 UTC  

If he's prepared to make massive investment in social housing, he'd be able to save a lot on the housing benefit budget

2019-10-09 15:33:17 UTC  

"""Social housing"""

2019-10-09 15:33:22 UTC  

It's an endless money pit

2019-10-09 15:33:26 UTC  

Yes, it is

2019-10-09 15:33:28 UTC  

There's plenty of houses in the UK

2019-10-09 15:33:40 UTC  

Force people to rent them out if they're sat there empty

2019-10-09 15:33:43 UTC  

legalise all drugs, if people die taking them that's just natural selection

2019-10-09 15:33:43 UTC  

Like THOUSANDS in London

2019-10-09 15:33:46 UTC  

But it's an even bigger money pit when you have a housing shortage but you're paying taxpayer money to private landlords in order to house poor people

2019-10-09 15:34:01 UTC  

The housing shortage is coming from people leaving their homes empty

2019-10-09 15:34:06 UTC  

It's not
