Gov borrowing

The Chancellor announced in his Budget today:
  • Public borrowing to increase to £175bn this year
  • Borrowing levels to rise by £173bn, £140bn, £118bn and £97bn in years after
Boggling quantities and troubling thinking about the taxation (or spending cuts) needed to replay this lot.
