Не понял с кем вы спорите. Это другая моя собеседница считает, что во всем виноваты колонизаторы. А насчет соцпомощи https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/21/reckless-public-spending-pushing-country-towards-debt-abyss/ By 2010, public sector debt amounted to 65 per cent of national income; today it is 100 per cent, partly swelled by the cost of the pandemic, although the trend was clear in any case. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), if nothing changes, on the current spending trajectory, debt will amount to more than 300 per cent of GDP within 50 years. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/06/21/britain-debt-100-pc-gdp-borrowing/ Britain’s debt pile has surpassed the size of the economy for the first time in more than six decades, ahead of an expected jump in interest rates that will add billions more to borrowing costs.
Soaring benefits payments and an NHS pay deal helped to drive up public borrowing to its highest level in any May outside of lockdown, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
This pushed the UK’s debt above the annual size of the economy for the first time since March 1961 in the aftermath of the Second World War. The ONS blamed the rise in borrowing on increases in benefit payments, including the state pension, universal credit and child benefit, which all climbed by 10.1pc in April to match increases in the cost of living. Net social benefits were £22.9bn, £2.9bn higher than a year ago.
The ONS said: “This increase was largely because of inflation-linked benefits uprating.”
The country is on track to be paying the equivalent of 37.7pc of GDP in taxes by 2028-29 – the highest level seen since the Second World War.
