Debts

Debt can be informs of money, goods or services lend by the creditor to the debtor to pay back after a period of time. Government from different countries like UK borrows finances through selling bonds to local and foreign investors which they pay them after a period of time with fixed interest. When the country is unable to pay these interest and some other loans thats when a country like UK is faced with a national debt. Currently over 35% is owed to foreign Government investors which has risen since year 2003.
UK is the sixth richest country but historically the country has been experiencing debts since the time they started borrowing to finance wars, a good example is when they borrowed to finance the II World War to fight Nazis Government, but later the debt declined rapidly. In 1970 the Government saw debt rise again from 33.1 billion pounds to 197.4 billion pounds because of the government not investing the money the country has properly and wisely.UK is the country believed to leave beyond it means with their tax revenues not been enough to cater for all the countrys needs, needs like countrys new development which some are not necessary and salary for Government workers, politicians included, leading the country into borrowing leaving UKs debt very huge.

Other problems driving UK debts high are:
1. Economic recession
2. lower tax receipts
3. Weak politicians bribing voters with borrowed money
4. Welfare budgets like pension, sickness, housing, child support and unemployment.

However, they can reduce debts situation by cutting Government spending and focus on how to manage public finances, they should find ways to increase tax revenues and also to invest wisely, and to avoid borrowing so much, because these debts come carrying:
1. High interest rates
2. Higher taxes
3. collapse in currency
This makes the country to borrow more.
If debts measures are not taken seriously UK will continued to be experience this problem, they should as well learn to leave within their means because borrowing just to consume means to borrow more to cover the other loans which leads the Government unable to control the debts.
