"A Bankruptcy Foretold: The UK’s Implicit Pension Debt
Nick Silver
This paper argues that government debt levels should be calculated in line with
generally accepted accounting practice. As earned pensions obligations are included
under generally accepted accounting practice, any earned pensions obligations of the
government should be counted as debt. The UK government’s debt will therefore be
much higher than the official figure which has profound implications for fiscal policy."
I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.
