US vs UK, Which is better?

What an intelligent observation *Rolls eyes*

Poor david, forever alone

Anyway, back on topic. I think the UK has a much stronger economy

But the people of the country don't feel it, remember the tax credit cuts?

good point, hmmm

It's still better, just....one sided.

US has the bigger GDP.

It doesn't feel like it that's for sure.

C'mon dave our economy is doing much better. All those cuts were needed badly, we were overspending badly.

So...cutting the already underfunded police force was a good idea? Osborne only cancelled it after the attacks in Paris. The cuts the to NHS meaning it can barely keep it's head above the water? If our economy is so good, how come the government seems to want to under-fund everything?

Not enough cash to go around. Our economy is doing better but still not large enough to support the amount we are spending without creating debt. Im all for privatising the NHS since its so inefficient

It's inefficient because the government is making it so, so they can privatise it and cream off the profits. This government is underfunding everything so they can benefit. You've heard of the expenses scandal?

Please don't complain about underfunding. Our Armed Forces have a budget of 5.4 billion this year. Algeria, which has one seventh of our GDP, spends three times as much. The men of GOE, the Spanish equivalent of the SAS, get paid, maximum, 960 Euros a month.

A shame, footballers paid almost 10 times the amount soldiers are, but I can complain as much as you can.

1. Add 5 more zeros to the end of that ten and I'm happy.
2. You can't complain as much. Your government is 10 times more competent than ours.

"Competent" Definitely.

Mate, you don't know how horrible our government is.

Neither do you mine.

I do, mate, I do.

It's worse than what you hear from me and what you read in the news, all these new cuts to "Save money" but where does the money go? Into David Cameron's swiss bank account, all these new taxes to get money, where do they go? Into David Cameron's summer house in Barbados.

beheading our armed forces while Putin is just starting to bear his teeth. A damned traitor.
