        @RupTroop @Jamin2g The price of everything has gone up since 2001 and that will reflect in the rise of welfare....it's not rocket science.

        @RaggyTroosers Youve tried to explain away the doubling in the welfare bill since 2001 with the rise in cost of living.

        @Jamin2g @toadmeister But most of it is absorbed by a massive bureaucratic superstructure. The money doesn't teach the frontline.

      @RektRolfe Ageing population, unemployment, lack of social investment. Smaller per-capita, no social investment.

      @Jamin2g @exlabourite increase in pension payments as we age. Can't take that away from ppl but taking away virtually everything else.
