Was a fairly prosperous country before it became broke and irrelevant.
UK going same way.

I'm not sure what way this is gonna end up, we clearly can't afford to keep going the way we are going with the welfare state & the NHS, a Greece style bankruptcy is very real possibility. A life of sitting on your arse has never been more generous in my lifetime yet for some reason most still think people on benefits are eating wallpaper.

Howabout not giving state pensions to those who have final salary based pensions?
Hall Of Fame
And do what with the money you've deducted from them over the years?
Hall Of Fame
Give nothing to those that have paid NI for over 40 years, and give it to scroungers who have had benefits all there lives

Now that would cause a civil war

This is being openly discussed within the labour party.
State pension to 74 and means tested.
Escape age rise if born 1966 and before.
The triple lock has to go first and foremost......tax relief at 40% on contributions into pensions has got to go.....I'd equalise tax relief at 25%......it was always erse about elbow giving higher rate tax payers a bigger relief.
But original point stands.....this country is in serious financial trouble.

Thing is though if AHH **** lost their state pension you cud then justify cheaper season tics and entry into football for rich auld folk.....they wouldn't be so rich.

Furlough and lockdowns........we were warned. 😞
