With annual borrowing expected to hit 163 billion pounds this year, where should the government make public spending cuts? Where have you seen money wasted? What needs protecting?
The dust has settled, the new government's in place. Time now to focus on the big issue: how to deal with the massive deficit? We'll get more details in the Emergency Budget on 22nd June. But the coalition government has already said spending cuts, not tax increases, will be the main focus in trying to reduce the UK's huge annual borrowing - expected to reach 脗拢163 billion this year.

How do you get spending down year on year without the risk of sending the UK economy back into recession? Share your ideas by calling us on 03700 100 400 or email youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
