Sure, it's fine to give money to the people who honestly cannot work through no fault of their own, but it becomes too much of a dependence. People end up thinking "Why work when I can just sit at home all day collecting welfare?", and they are correct. The government should not be in the handout business, it should be in the "creating jobs" business.
Here we go again! In the UK unemployment is again on the up, 3 million may soon be unemployed and some " experts" suggest it may reach 4 million before this recession ( crisis of capitalism ) is over.
The sector being worst affected is young people of your age Adrian, 18-24 year-olds. Tell me what they can do or what the government can do to avoid them claiming benefit? And please don't say they can all start their own businesses.
