NSC sorts the national debt

[Tubby Mondays]

time-limit payments such as housing benefit, incapacity benefit, unemployment benefit etc; cancel family tax credits to single parents under 25; child allowance likewise and cancel all payments other than basic pension to non-UK residents

How do you time limit Incapacity Benefit to a person who has no legs (perhaps they have been blown off whilst fighting for their country)? They are hardly going to grow back are they? 'Sorry Mr Smith youve been receiving this benefit for 6 months and so are quite clearly a scrounger, so we are stopping it'.

How do you time limit housing benefit for pensioners? 'Sorry Mr Jones you have been receiving your housing benefit for a year now since you were 65. You are quite clearly a scrounger for not dying yet so we are stopping your money. I dont car that you may have worked all your life but you dont deserve to receive this help anymore'.

What happens if you cancel family tax credits to single parents under 25 (or any age for that matter)? They dont work at all. This means they claim Income Support and therefore full rate housing and council tax benefit. These benefits cost more than paying the person family tax credits. It also means that they dont contribute anything to society or the economy.

Get rid of health and safety! it causes so many hoops for people to jump threw and costs loads to all of us

I thought the health and safety mafia banned the jumping through hoops? Another English tradition has gone

This banter is all very well but we need breakdowns, numbers and figures.

There are approx 265,000 private swimming pools in Britain. Now if you are rich enough to own your own pool then you are rich enough to be taxed on it.

Therefore, impose a £5000 tax on anyone with a swimming pool:

265,000 x £5000 = £1325,000,000

That's £1.325 billion.

Therefore, deficit now = £897.11 billion less £1.325 billion = £895.785 billion.

Its coming down folks...
