Government borrowing in December fell for the fourth month in a row.
Official figures show a drop of £2.2bn from a year earlier to £13.7bn, which was a bigger fall than expected.
Rejoice!! Less of our money is being spent!!

This is still an alarmingly high level. The government will have current receipts around £590bn this tax year, so, they're borrowing more than 2% of total income in December.
If the government was a family earning, after tax, £26,000 a year they'd be borrowing more than £600 in December and a projected £5,600 over the tax year. The deficit is being reduced slowly but whether it's quick enough to stop Britain becoming Greece is still the overriding question of our time."The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else." -- Frederic Bastiat, 1848.0 -
We will NOT be Greece as long as we believe in ourselves ... and not be dragged down by the negative people which haunt this site!Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0
