i wonder how to motivate those who don't work to work. There are jobs, always have been always will be. Some are obvious some less so. Look at the state of the roads, full of holes that need to be filled, look at the litter in the hedges, etc. Tidying this would make the place a nicer place to be. But to do the job would need alot of manpower.
To pay these workers would be expensive, i wonder if there would be a way of encouraging people to care about their environment?
I have no issue with paying people to be on the dole while they look for work or can't work, but the current system where benefits, rent, council tax benefit and childcare costs mean that working doesn't pay doesn't make sense.
Another saving i can think of is scrapping tax credits, why take peoples money and then give it back, if they can be bothered to fill out forms? why not just raise the thresholds, if it means bringing in negative tax rates to get money to those at the bottom fine, but tax credits just don't make sense.
