They said on the show at the current rate it would be bust by the end of 2009...I am assuming thats a best case scenario like most government estimates these days, and in reality it will be out of funds by late Summer...what then?? borrow again?

Surely we can't keep borrowing? If we end up 100 billion, 200 billion in debt, does it mean the country will officially become a basket case.

I just don't understand how the country is broke and yet there are still golden handshakes for the big boys in politics and the wider public sector. It's like stealing the China on the Titanic before it sinks, these people have no class, morals, principles or patriotism. Get as much money as possible out of the state before it goes under seems to be the goal.
