The Tories are lying, as usual.
But, never mind that; for the sake of argument, let's imagine it's all true.
The country is in loads of debt. So what?
As a fully functioning and useful member of society, a person is expected to saddle themselves with tens of thousands of pounds of student debt, on the gamble that, in the future; they will be earning enough to pay it all back.
After their (preposterously expensive) education, they'll probably need a car, so they take on more debt for this socially desirable item, that depreciates in value with every passing moment of its use.
After that, they might be lucky enough to be one of the tiny amount of people who can (sort of) afford to buy somewhere to live and therefore lock themselves into repaying hundreds of thousands of pounds, pretty much up until the point they keel over and die.
Done all that? Good. Well done. You made a 'success' of your life. Go you.
Every step of they way on this journey of 'achievement'; you were not only expected to get into debt; you were actively encouraged and celebrated for doing so.
You see; you were investing in yourself. You were making a pact with your future; that it would, one day, be 'better' than your present. You could afford to take on all this debt now, because then your investment would have paid off.
If an individual saddling themselves with all this (apparently) essential debt, is what is expected in order to be considered a 'success'; then why is the opposite true for the country?
Surely, we must be expecting our country's future to be better than our present?
If this is the case, then how is building hospitals, schools, houses and infrastructure in any way irresponsible? How is making sure that the most vulnerable in society are supported not an investment in that person's individual future, and so by extension, an investment in the country's future as a whole?
You've gotta speculate to accumulate, or is that only true of the spivs in the City? It's almost as though the Conservative party have no faith in the future of our country whatsoever.
For the love of anything sane, don't vote for the Tories.
And if they don't want to go quietly, we might need to see them off the premises.
