[quote="Joka"]Exactly, that's why we should continue printing money [or 1's and 0's in a government computer terminal somewhere] robbing future generations of their prosperity paying for social security, medicare, public pensions, retirement, and so on.
Sure, this is much better for the older people now and we don't have to worry about killing them off either by lethal euthanasia.
Future generations on the other hand are totally dead on arrival. In order to not kill anybody or anything now we must kill the future, it's our only hope to have entitlements in the here and now. It's simple, to save our present and comfortable lifestyles that come with it we must kill the future. quote]
In the U.K, the gov't, through the Bank of England, have been debasing our currency to the tune of £1.75 TRILLION(£1.25
TRILLION since 2010-expected to top £2 TRILLION by 2021.
The 'seniors' that live on THIRD WORLD pensions, expected to be £122.30 a week from April 2017, having worked 50 years for my Basic State Pension, I feel deeply angry about it's unfairness.
I was born years before the Welfare State in the U.K began in 1948,somehow, that enables the current TORY administration to DISCRIMINATE on grounds of age against people like me.
This is so, because from the same date, the 'NEW' State Pension pays out £155.65 a week, if retired after 5 April 2016 & these people would have been paying NI contributions to the State Pension at the same rate as those born before the Welfare State existed, such as myself.
There are many state benefit 'anomalies' introduced under 'New Labour', which underlies the hypocrisy of that political party, in that it rails against 'discrimination' by others, yet practices it in abundance when in power.
You say that,"Sure, this is much better for the older people now and we don't have to worry about killing them off either by lethal euthanasia".
If you mean that 'printing money' is 'much better' for older people now', that cynicism is atypical of any fascist state worth it's salt.
Older people's savings have been decimated by Quantitative Easing(QE),a policy designed to debase a currency & to deepen the National Debt crisis for which the younger generations will pay the price by keeping interest rates below the market clearing rate, in order to fund dishonest government spending, of money that does not exist beyond it's electronic generation.
In the U.K we have a Canadian Governor of the National Bank doing his utmost to debase our currency, in cahoots with our government.
Government spending has increased, despite the government's manifesto to eliminate the deficit, which, though 'falling', is only doings so because long term debt is increasing.
Economically, we are all getting poorer, a direct result of 'austerity' policies, there is no 'free lunch' when you cut the incomes of a large section of the populace, the law of 'diminishing returns' kicks in fast once such a policy is introduced & the pushback when it comes will cost much, much more.
CHURCHILL was right when he said, 'democracy' is the worst form of government, bar the others'.
It's the younger politicians such as that LIAR AKA 'BLIAR' that created the mess the UK is now in.
Since 1997, the UK population increase, mainly from mass uncontrolled migration, is by 10%, our GDPPP ought to have increased by a close amount, it has not.
It's the QE pumped in that has 'INFLATED' the GDP figures , the ONS is a factory that inputs RAW economic data material ,then 'spins' it out as brainwashing material once it has been suitably contaminated enough to fool the ignorant electorate & allow the government to defraud it's debtors, pensioners, benefit claimants, public services like the NHS etc.
At the same time, this electronically raised money is spent on unaffordable defence spending at the behest of American government exhortation, such as when OBAMA came to Germany, railed against President PUTIN over the most corrupt regime on earth, the UKRAINE, having lit the touch-paper, he withdrew to the White House, then waited for the usual TORY Stooges, HAMMOND-FALLON to pump prime more defence spending.
'Defence' spending it was NOT, it was spending on capital ships & Trident renewal.
If every country in the West had their own 'PUTIN', we would have some backbone, but we don't, because all our politicians are bought & paid for by corrupt businesses.
I see no reason for optimism for our young people, they are cynical from a very young age, they completely read politicians for what they are, human effluent.
