20 million UK citizens are freeloading in one way or another.
Every female who has had (or intends to have) more than 2 kids
when the total income or her and her partner (if there is one!!)
is less the the amount that would put her/them into 40% tax, is
being subsidised by other people. And since 1945 that subsidy
has been disguised as the 'national debt'. This is just a tax
on future generations, while the annual interest (currently about
£80 Billion) mostly hits current taxpayers. The usual government
'get out of jail for free' card is to engineer a period of
inflation to erode the debt, but this time the biggest
chunk of index-linked debt that HM treaury has to budget for
is the state pension plus the massive unfunded inflation-proof
public sector pensions. They haven't issued index-linked gilts
for years which is why anyone buying them now and holding to
redemption will suffer an absolute loss, while conventional
gilts are paying 0.7% per year if held to redemption.
The more inflation goes up, the more the government has to pay
out to cosset those 20 million.
I heard on the BBC news earlier about how GPs are being asked
to concentrate on the massive backlog of cases when they are
spending most of their time 'reviewing and managing' Britains
army of 'diabetics' and other so-called vulnerable people.
GP's apparently get paid extra money for doing the latter
