green Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Today we are told we have to cut £10 billion in welfare, health & education. We are told this is necessary as we are broke, and we need to cut our dependence on the state and public purse. 5 years ago we started bailing out the banks. To the tune of £800bn. When is it time to cut their dependence on us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Do you want the banks that we now have ownership of to collapse and lose all out monies? We are putting in to keep the things stable and as we have large share in most of them much of their money is our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Welfare needs cutting by a whole lot more then £10 billion. What parts? The only way to make substantial savings is to cut pensions. Perhaps cut the state pension to £56.25 per week. Keep winter fuel and get rid of bus passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Maybe Osborne could nationalise some more pension schemes. He's already converted the Royal Mail scheme into an unfunded scheme just so he could boast that he cut the deficit by 25%, courtesy of the one-off £30bn fiscal boost it provided.

We are putting in to keep the things stable and as we have large share in most of them much of their money is our money. We'd have been much better off if we'd allowed the weak banks to go to the wall and bailed out the people. We could all have had about £5K each into our accounts to spend as we wish, rather than bailing out the banks. Instead, that money is in the trousers of the few. Tories never change their spots.

Guest sibon Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Labour bailed out the banks. Gideon did all of the Q.E. Which amounts to the same, but bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
