[Margaret Pilkington]

This country must be awash with spare money.
I read that some 'think tank' has suggested that all 25 year olds(regardless of their financial situation) be given ten thousand pounds.
It seems that this money is to make these young adults feel a bit more economically secure....help them to get onto the housing ladder.

I am not sure whether the money will come with any provisos....like 'why don't you pay off some of your Uni costs'....or whether it will be left up to these millennials to use the money sensibly.

This is at a time when services to communities(which these millennials use) are being cut....when we are have a surcharge placed on local taxes to fund elderly care. When NHS hospitals are looking at huge deficits(partly caused by political meddling).
It is also mooted that working folk will begin to pay tax at a lower threshold....so poorer workers are going to be funding this gift.

Do you feel that this is a good use of taxpayers money?
