Tory Propaganda

Tory Propaganda
It is quite interesting that in the Tories recent political party broadcast it focuses on how the government has reduced the deficit by 25%. The Average Brit apparently thought it was just 1.5 - 3% and so on the face of things everybody seems very impressed.

However, it seems the Tories are more focused on misleading the public into thinking they're improving things when in fact quite the opposite is the case. The terms 'deficit' and 'debt' mean two entirely different things, deficit is the amount of borrowed money being spent by the government per year, whereas the debt is the amount of borrowed money being spent that is owed back.

So it is clear that whilst the government is cutting the amount of money borrowed in comparison to previous years that it is spending, it is still spending borrowed money! Therefore the debt can only be rising can it not? It seems like statistical propaganda to many who are now discussing this subject, misleading statistics and the same old lies from the Tories.

What are your thoughts?
