    There are just so many areas here like black holes , sucking in billions of euro. It’s fascinating, the ageing population is going to cost an absolute fortune. I can’t wait to see the next budget , assuming brexit is done and dusted. even with the substantial economic growth , there is virtually nothing for the usual vote grabbers / bribes of income tax cuts / welfare increases, despite the economy booming. It’s very different from the last boom. If this is what is happening with a healthy economy, if the **** hits the fan again for any reason , it won’t be pretty. We have masses of national debt unlike last time round for a start ...

    Can't really see the national debt being a problem , it ll probably just kept being rolled over, like most other countries national debt, and shur we can just keep bailing out financial institutions as well, and add it to the national debt, and some more austerity would be good to, everything will be grand
