PPPs, the long term perspective and the tax payer (none / 0)

The first thought that comes to mind is the old snark:
*PPP = Poor Planning on your Part, does Not constitute and Emergency on My Part (the public).

Jerome has already given the correct duck answer to the debt. (The PSOE government in Spain put actual debt on the books soon after taking over, because the €6 billion deficit from national television and some others were not recorded.)

On accounting: Do you mean that current EU governmental accounting is not on the accrual basis??? <brain explodes>.

When the poor planning leads to hospital closures, it becomes an emergency for the public.

The snark addresses the "poor" FMs who claim their contracts are not profitable. If they cannot make a profit, even with their "contingency costs" added to contracts, = they have screwed up their planning, costing and budgeting, so I have no compassion.

The public should be protected from their f-ups.
