Money ain't magic
>How are we going to deal with that borrowing?
I'd love to know whose anus they pulled these figures out of
Are we just eternally going to keep borrowing money?
*No.*
I mean yes
Not at that level *
I'll concede that.
There are very very few countries that will every be in equity

The housing shortage is coming from people leaving their homes empty
It's not
