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.

If you work in the public sector - health, education, the armed forces - what kind of an impact will planned cuts have on your job? If you're in business is this the right way forward? 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.
