Debt destruction (depression) here we come.

Independent: For the first time, Britons' personal debt exceeds Britain's GDP

Image if all that liquidity had gone into securing
- Elimination of the UK's carbon footprint.
- Restoration of the nation's crumbling listed buildings
- A high speed rail network covering Cornwall, Wales and Scotland
- Crossrail and tube upgrades
- Housing association new build and new council housing
- Expansion and linking of our national parks and other natural treasure.

Oh, shi%t, the government spent it on a war in Iraq and we spent it on houses we already had, betting on rising prosperity of homeowners without doing anything to raise our productivity, oops! Its the biggest waste and nonsense in history. Are humans smarter than yeast?

Had to laugh at your "are humans smarter than yeast" comment. I saw a lecture on oil use where than comment was used - I'm assuming you got it from the same one - and it was the funniest thing I'd heard in ages. Unfortunately I'd have to answer a resounding No!

So where do you think the money 'we spent on houses' went? It's not exactly going out of our economy is it!!

You've got to laugh at Gordon Brown who thinks he has been prudent in the way he ran our economy !!
