Breaking Britain's addiction to the welfare state

[Tsar Bomba]

Hmmm! It's gonna be a real toughie!

We've been hanging on to America's shirt tails for 60 years

The American Empire is dying and very soon the United Kingdom will have to stand on its own two feet

A Ron Paul presidency will force America to adopt fiscal conservatism and possibly a return to gold backed currency. This will make life very uncomfortable for the British people, whose 'prosperity' is dependent on an infinite supply of money. Like America, our asset wealth is mostly owned with debt. A LOT of debt!

How will the European countries finance their deficits, the labyrinth of entitlements and public sector pensions in this new world of fiscal responsibility?

The welfare system will have to die.

There are 3 alternatives, tax people more....MUCH more..but that is likely to cause serious problems in our faux democracy.

Or hyperinflation......and inflation is tax by the back door. The government effectively steals the value of our money by creating more and more of it. Money supply is growing at nearly 5 times our GDP and around 4 times faster than our joke inflation measure, the CPI

The 3rd solution, a foregone conclusion in my opinion, will be the end of the welfare dependancy that is sucking this country dry. No more benefits, no more holiday pay, no more malingering on sickness benefits, No more final salary pension schemes for the public sector workers and unfortunately, no more NHS.

Sterling is the most overvalued currency on the planet. The death of the dollar will precipitate a run on Sterling that will devastate the pensions and savings of the British people.

The death of the welfare state will be the consequence of 10 years of NuLabour's prosperity by debt.

It all sounds awful doesn't it?

But it isn't, and if you want to find out why just listen to Ron Paul.

The longer it goes on, the more painful it will be. Britain needs RADICAL change right now, so that people start feeling responsible for themselves again.

Once people do realise they have to look after themselves, they will actually take more pride in everything they do and "society" will be all the better for it.

Good post Tsar Bomber

You are right the way ahead is far from clear - Its appears to be the decline of the West and the rise of Russia and possibly Asia.

Some more ideas

Britain should end its role of the Global policeman's little brother, for a start bring back the 20,000 British troops in Germany and get them spending their salaries in British shops and help with the people that get flooded. Germany is rich enough to protect itself. Stay out of the Balkans this has been going on since before the 2nd World War. Anyone that wants our troops there should make sure they contribute a proportion to the costs 'if' Britain is judged to be the best option for peace but I doubt that. It is a disgrace that our soldiers have inadequate supplies and recovery facilities remember the swimming pool incident.

The NHS is a 'sick' joke - its role should be mainly just an A & E unit, people with degenerative diseases should be given dietary and nutritional info to 'cure' their diseases that would save Billions in payments to the Pharmaceuticals and for the tax payer. Check out Max Gerson the doctor that was curing diet with cancer he lost by 4 votes in the uS senate in favout of chemotherapy. Perhaps people over a certain age should continue to be treated but say everyone under 30 has to take responsilibity for thoer own health.

For a start ban GM & Nanotechnology in foods ban pesticides (Israel has and has seen its cancer rates drop). Instead grow organics this is a booming industry and like RP says leave alternative health alone.

Ban vaccinations that would save Billions as well, a lecture by a senior doctor I attended advised that Autism had increased by 800% since vaccinations were introduced. Also check SIV40 in relation to the Polo vaccine ( a monkey virus that is carcinogenic)

Look at landownership (this could start a civil war) but Britain & Spain are the only countries in Europe that have not had any land reformation. The big landowners also get a big rebate from Europe. So someone benefits from Europe!

Withdraw from Europe and restart our Fishing industry - Cod is back. Alos remove the red tape from Business.

So apart from fish and organics and hiring out our Forces what else could we export?

Financial Services -well I think they would have done a runner if all the above was implemented but maybe the above has got a few brain cells thinking and as for energy check out the stories about Tesla perhaps cheap energy is all around us........

Anyway that's all for today!

Ps I'm glad I've got anti-spyware as I got 3 blocks just typing this.
