Looking at all the figures bandied about recently, and seeing how in debt major nations such as the US, UK etc are, I was wondering if its possible for a country to run itself on what it brings in in tax i.e. never borrow?
I know individuals who are in no debt. If they cannot afford something, they don't have it. If they want it, they save for it.
Could a country realistically never borrow and be self sustaining?
