"We have to get more people working generating wealth to do it "
I couldn't agree more jake. Unfortunately jobs in the public sector hundreds of thousands of them add nothing to the party. OK so they get wages and we get tax back so for each pound we spend we get a bit back but otherwise they produce nothing.
Now we need to cut the public sector as small as possible and encourage private sector investment.
The private sector creates wealth, the public sector spends it and wastes a lot of it. Since 1997 there have been approx 600,000 new jobs in the public sector, most of them incomprehensable to normal people. Jobs pages of The Guardian are full of them, probably are even now.
Ok they go on the dole I here you say. Right we cut benefits to subsistance levels and encourage people to get proper jobs in the private sector that we are encouraging to flourish.
