"go up and up and up"

[Odessa Dawn]

“I have actually cut the police budget by 20%. It is simply not credible to go to Europe and say we have made all these difficult decisions at home but when it comes to the European budget we are going to see it go up and up and up.

Does go up and up and up mean increasing and getting better or things getting better?

He means the European budget is increasing. He does not see that as "getting better," quite to the contrary. He is arguing that he has made responsible budget cuts in his own nation's budget but the European super gov't just keeps spending and spending.

Hello, Odessa Dawn:



Many people in the world are upset because the cost of living (rent, food, transportation, etc.) keeps going up, up, up, but

their salaries keep going down, down, down.
