The welfare state is unsustainable economically, socially and morally.

Out of interest does anybody know exactly what Core Government Services covers? Huge increase there.

How come are we so thick and stupid to tolerate these obscene surplus figures quarter after quarter?
Not only Cullen doesn't care about the wage earner, but he also finds the way to dismiss any criticism (he was on the radio tonight defending the indefensible, again).
This time he's amassed a big purse with which he'll bribe the sheeple before the next election. That's democracy, after all.
I've always wondered this Manolo. But it's not 'us' voting them in, its every beneficiary in the land, and now with that theft on a grand scale called Working for Families, the number of beneficiaries is huge. And worse, the numbers of Left voters are breeding up all the time, as the State pays people, many of them unfit people, to have children. The more pertinent question is, given this, how is it possible anymore to get the Left out?
