In a way, think Flashy has hit the nail on the head. Try and work within your means in other words.
Problem is, how we distribute the money available, all areas are important, just which needs it the most.
Think defence needs a bigger slice and NHS (although has the biggest spend at the moment)... oh, and education low down on the list of public spending at the moment. Pensions are 2nd followed by Welfare.
How do you decide ? I dunno' not good at economics. Always try to prioritize my household spending to paying the bills first, but how does a government decide which it the most important ?
