The Politicians YOU Have Elected In The Last 60 Years Have Betrayed The Next Generation!

From: Dominic Rayner, Gledhow Avenue, Roundhay, Leeds.
DON Burslam writes (Yorkshire Post, September 7) that those receiving state benefits should be grateful for them. Yes they should, but are today’s young people really getting such a good deal from the state? In some ways they can expect less assistance than their parents had.
The value in real terms of state benefits is currently being cut, there is no longer any prospect of free university education or a student grant and while mum or dad might have a decent occupational pension when they retire that will not be the case for those starting work now.
Meanwhile, the housing bubble means most young people have no chance of buying a house. Young people do have one thing to look forward to though – through the taxes they pay over the next 40 years they will help to fund the social care costs of their grandparents and parents.
