  1. @welsh30s "read what people wrote" read what people have written surely?
  2. @welsh30s Again nice try, you talk of the lifetime benefit of NI & when your busted by the facts it's back to the ad Hominem #fail
  3. @welsh30s Oh no the grammar police! Ponzi is exactly what NI is, you thought it was invested lol! twitter.com/AndyCavster/st…
  4. @welsh30s Ponzi- a scheam where the current investors pay out the original investors until u run out of new investors. Happy to educate you
  5. @welsh30s It's a tax, it's not an investment scheam. Today's payees pay out today's pensioners = Ponzi no lifetime value Doh!
  6. @welsh30s Nope, although both are output measures, State pension is a Ponzi scheam so it's always current. No lifetime benefit.
  7. @welsh30s The cost benefit of pensioners? What's that if not GDP?
  8. @welsh30s I agree, Gideon & Danny totally out of their depth.
  9. @welsh30s Nice try, in that case we should add the contributions of the public sector & the unemployed to GDP & take it off the cost.
  10. @welsh30s Longest period of low growth EVER. U can't possibly estimate Lab borrowing based on Tory negative growth failures.
  11. @welsh30s The point is the amounts are tiny in comparison. This incompetent Gov are trying to borrow & print their way out of a recession.
  12. @welsh30s Eh? I said biggest part of welfare bill was pensions (it is) you said no it wasn't (your wrong)
  13. @welsh30s Still won't get to the £15bn cost of pensions will it, unless school meals are lobster & caviar eh...
  14. @welsh30s How about the NAO? 2008/9 Tax Payer pension costs £14.9bn Scroungers eh!
  15. @welsh30s spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv… Total benefits £87693m Pension liabilities...have a read! telegraph.co.uk/finance/person…
  16. @welsh30s By far the biggest % of the welfare bill is pensions. Benefits is tiny in comparison, think your a victim of the DM myth machine.
  17. @welsh30s Eh? You think we currently have a free market? & u question my economic knowledge! Gov take 70%of fuel cost & run an energy cartel
  18. @welsh30s Cap on benefits fine, but let's also have a cap on fuel costs, energy charges, child care costs and mortgage interest rates eh?
  19. @welsh30s Hold on, I pay 40% tax, been thro 2 redundancies, under this Gov If lose my job and I'm a scrounger. How fair of u.
