That shortfall among many others is due to the continued slashing of Scotlands funding, so all departments across the board are getting cut. That's the cruzx of the whole issue in that Scotland can controll all of it's money and it can fully fund whatever it wants because it will be a richer nation, even a slight increase in funding is better than the relentless austerity which will see a further 25Bn promised cuts. So yes there is going to be a 450 million shortfall in the NHS but this is wholly avoidable if we get full control over our resources. These shortfalls are not unique to the NHS across everywhere there are shortfalls and legally Scotland is required to balance the books which the do a fucking amazing job of doing despite westminsters best efforts.

Actually the US economy is essentially a ponzi sch
That sits at the top of the tree. With the US treasury constantly printing money or IOU offsetting future debts for international trade. But that's a bigger argument about 'currency' economies versus 'money' economies like we used to have when tangible assets like gold were what underpinned trading.But seeing as we all have no option but to trade with a currency based economy. Or unless the utopia of independent Scotland becomes a world revered self-sustaining biosphere, there will be no choice but to accept debt liability if you want to sit at a table
In the EU or elsewhere

No, let's not.
I can't think of three less capable, less appropriate, spokespeople to fight for the cause of Unity. We could've had 100 seasons of shared bounty and yet these 3 could turn up and turn off an entire nation with nary a word spake.
ffs.
