Borrowed money needs to be paid back:

The government is preparing to confirm that a huge and unplanned rise in government borrowing will have to be paid back in the years to come.

It comes as the chancellor is expected to announce spending rises and tax cuts in his Pre-Budget report on Monday.

"The chancellor has to tell the country how far we've gone into the red," said BBC political editor Nick Robinson.

BBC Business Editor Robert Peston said the chancellor will also have to say how the money will be paid back.
Mr Robinson said: "Next week the chancellor has to tell the country how far we've gone into the red. He's preparing to reveal that we'll soon be borrowing over £100bn - that's 11 noughts at the end.

Eleven noughts on the end, gosh that is a lot of money. Thankfully the BBC are there to explain in very simple patronising terms to the plebs.

Maybe our badger haired chancellor and unelected PM cyclops could start off with cutting local/national government to the bone as it produces nothing of worth and sucks up money like a sponge.

But that would cost votes and Labour will never do that...
