if the benefit system is slashed dramatically we could have more crime than we have now and we would need more prison places which would cost money.
I wouldnt want to live in a world where there is more crime than there is now would you?
So you're just happy to pay for folk to do nothing and contribute nothing to stop them being a criminal?
How about sticking them in jail for any crimes they commit and giving them a bit of hard labour as punishment.
Could kill two birds with one stone - gets the criminal scum off the streets and stick them working on the roads for free.0 -
