Welfare can't be much worse
Is it time the benefits system was subject to a complete overhaul?
The current schemes pay an incentive to become dependent, to breed and to not contribute, so overhaul is long overdue. I like the sound of "work credit" rather than "unemployment benefit". On the other hand, "life credit" does not sound like a change - paying people to be alive seems the same old incentive to breed and do nothing.

The only ones I would have starve are those who want a free ride. (Well, no, we all want a free ride sometimes - I'd let starve those who demand or think they have a right to a free ride.)
