The Wisconsin Reforms

Perhaps like me you wonder why welfare benefits are seemingly, routinely doled out in the UK to anybody who turns up with a hard luck story.
Maybe you can accept that in the first instance but what about the large percentage who simply carry on? What of those in their late 20s who have never had any job? What of those who simply use benefits to supplement their illegal earnings in the black economy? Those who use benefits to supplement a persistent, unacceptable lifestyle as part of the criminal underclass?
What of that significant percentage who, although demonstrably not genuine claimants and never have been, are 'on sick' because it has suited the last two governments to conceal unemployment figures in this way?
Well, there is an alternative but one which requires 'bravery' by the government in power. Welcome to the Wisconsin Reforms and their unqualified success. Please read the link!
Read it all yet? - Good. There IS a solution but you just KNOW that it will not be implemented. Guess which side of the political divide would fight these measures tooth & nail!
