Good News at a Price

Good news for the troops - upgraded Pumas, upgraded Chinooks and Warthog Pr - ATVs.  Hundreds of millions of Pounds worth. (About 858 Million Pounds by my reckoning)
And for the civilians care in their homes if frail. (Alan Johnson says this will cost 200 Million Pounds in the first year) So that's a another Billion Pounds of new expenditure committed this week.
All of this is very welcome but where is Macavity going to get the money and worse how are we going to pay for it?  Higher taxes?  More National Debt?
We should be told!
