Mr Hague warned that Mr Brown had given up all hope of winning the election and resorted to planting economic booby traps in Downing Street.
"To say we will inherit a poisoned chalice if we win the general election is putting it mildly.
It's as poisoned as it can get. Gordon Brown's troops are leaving as much poison as they can. It is almost as if they have given up caring.
They are like a retreating army, poisoning the wells as the other army advances.
That is precisely what Gordon Brown is doing by chalking up as much debt as possible, making as many spending commitments as possible which he doesn't know how to finance, partly in the hope of leaving a new government with a really difficult situation."
Mr Hague hit out as official figures revealed the national mountain of debt has topped £848billion - with the nation borrowing £277,719 every MINUTE.
He said it was now left to the Tories to "rescue" the British people from "the worst government in modern history".
