Apart from all the people that are mortgage free?

That is the point I am trying to make.

I paid off the last of my mortgage 15 years ago, after being lumbered with debts by my father, from age 21.

Meanwhile the politicians, having enjoyed 25 years of revenues from North Sea oil, spent that and borrowed another mortgage on my behalf to try and buy my vote.

So now the citizens of the UK are paying nearly half of our annual wealth just to prop up the government (and educate the next generation and support the health, welfare and pensions of the citizens, seemingly unable to support themselves).

Just how long do we and especially the Americans think this imbalance can continue ?
