From what I understand of the issue, we, as a nation, are in a lot of debt. To repay debt you need money. To get money generally you need a job. The government can't pay off all the debt we, as a nation owe, because they were already in a lot debt before this even happened and to some extent it isn't their problem that we ourselves borrow beyond our means. So it makes sense to encourage us to pay back the debt ourselves owe and at least solve some of the problem, and to do that we need jobs.

Sadly we're being encouraged to buy ourselves out of an economic crisis at the same time and there are undoubtedly going to be millions of people with access to credit who are still spending beyond their means in order to invest in the times. Obviously we all see the sales and we are a materialistic nation. I think the current climate IS encouraging poorer people to spend more money but sadly it is more money that they don't have, so whilst we may be buying the government out of their mistakes, we're just spending ourselves into more poverty.

I think it is pretty disgusting but unfortunately I'm not in a position to dictate how the government should govern.
