Bit late to worry about that. The entire National Debt is secured against the tax revenues of unborn children.Please stop trying to take money from those who haven't even been born yet.
And then there are all the other unfunded liabilities that are off the balance sheet. This of course includes the state retirement pension, which unlike most public sector works pensions is completely unfunded and pay-as-you-go. It's already gone the CPI route, with nobody taking much notice. And even now there are Treasury mandarins working out how to welsh on their obligations so you won't get one at all if they can help it."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis0 -

So if we dont breed, who is going to do the work? Who is going to pay for the old?
Do we really want to go back in time?0 -
As there aren't enough jobs to go round, "who is going to do the work" is irrelevant. It's more "how hard do the few workers have to work to pay for those not working".So if we dont breed, who is going to do the work? Who is going to pay for the old?
