Steve Shaw | BS: Reducing the UK welfare bill (135* d) | RE: BS: Reducing the UK welfare bill | 26 Nov 15 |
True, but people on state pensions have contributed towards that for the whole of their working lives, and what they get depends on the contributions they've made. That is reasonably predictable and accountable. Most other benefits are contingent on the vicissitudes of life. Not the same thing. It's also worth mentioning that the UK old age pension is just about the poorest in the developed world. |
