Osborne prepares to cut welfare spending by a further £10bn as expected

[Sandman]

Of course this smarmy arsehole was going to have another go at the

most vulnerable, that's all they know, how to pick on the weakest and

get away with it, because they know they can't fight back, different

matter when it comes to the wealthy and financial services, he then

assumes the grovelling stance, please don't go,we will give you more,

and more, and more.

The best way to cut the Welfare bill is to create the jobs and aid the economy.

By making these plans George is giving up on that, has thrown in the towel.

 

The sooner he goes the sooner it can begin to get better - hopefully.

It may be him but I am reading that its the Lib Dems who are up for increasing the tax burden. Darling and Major told us that there was going to be a tax bombshell but I had foolishly thought  that there would be a greater effort to stop opportunists from raising prices to the extent that they have. OK we all feel that we are being pinched from both sides but there really must be something that is done to help out those that obviously need it. Removing the tax barrier to higher levels is fine but what about those that dont reach those levels . I understand why their is a battle against welfare claimants and when they catch them all the better but nothing much seems to being done to those that are really struggling.

This government has never shown an interest, in balancing out the

tax burden fairly across the board, the liberals want the personal

allowance raised to £10k, it should be £15k, we have a minimum

wage that is a joke, most people who take a job on minimum, have

to have their money boosted by tax credits, so why are they taxed

in the first place, the minimum wage should be £9-50hr, any decent

business should be able to pay that, those that can't are effictively

being subsidised by the tax payer. Why hasn't there been intervention

by the government to curb excessive profits by utilities, why haven't

they got to grips with the futures markets,  to stop the banks from

funding it for excessive profits, the new for profits investments have

move from the traditional markets, to commodities that are essentials,

and they are getting away with it, the banks are still the masters of the

world, that no government the world over has the balls to control.

Commodities markets are thousands of years old probably dating back
well before the classical civililisations , they even traded in
futures (ie promised delivery dates)

There's nothing new about them

well so we are not surprised that we are in the position you describe then Sandman . However havnt lots of people got their fingers badly burnt in the futures market.

Do you think that the minimum wage should be hiked up when we have such a high unemployment figure . I heard today that the US figure is around £4 million which is pretty good in comparison to ours . Would that be anything to do with their lack of welfare facilities? If you read my posts you will see that I too question the ineffective role played by these quangoes that have been set up to control price hikes not only by utilities but by opportunists mainly in food.

The temptations that at least in theory that could be put in front of those that are supposed to rein in price hikes are obviously too tempting to resist. The deal was as far as I and I suspect many others saw that yes due to our financial situation which ever gvt got in we were in for a period of austerity whatI didnt expect were these huge price hikes . It really isnt enough for people especially families not to be able to enjoy minimal treats. When I was asked could various staff work to get extra for their annual hols I turned it down because I firmly believe that to get the best out of a person they should have a break from the monotiny. This should be available to all that need it.
