I expect this will yet again be put down to the recklessness of the last government but the fact is we are putting people out of work and onto benefits ..to me that is not as you say a "tough decision" .. more like a inept and stupid economic policy.
To take the attitude that we are not as bad off as Spain or whoever is as simplistic as saying we are knackered but just look at the neighbours!

You didn't answer my question.........I asked how you deal with your own budgetary deficits.
When there is little growth.....then jobs are scarce. What do you expect the government to do? Manufacture jobs?
Our manufacturing base has shrunk. The uncontrolled immigration that the Labour governments allowed, let in people from other countries who will take any job that is going...they don't bleat on that is it not worth getting out of bed for.....or that they can get more money being on benefits, get up late and watch daytime TV.
Many people in this country have no work ethic.
It was Labour governments who encouraged a benefits dependence....and now it has grown into something which causes howls of pain when benefit claimants are targetted with back to work iniatives.
I am not saying that
all claimants are getting benefits to which they are not entitled....but some
are.
That is, taking money out of mine and your pocket to live better than we can. Beer. fags, wide screen TV, playstation etc. All paid for by you and me.
What would be your ideal way of dealing with the current financial crisis?
I will be interested to hear how you think this problem can be solved.
