These dishonest politicians have made promises they can't keep and in the process created a population which relies upon hand outs of one sort or another, and now they ' pull the rug" as you put it, which is the evil fruit of the evil tree. That's just as bad - worse in fact - than having led them up the garden path in the first place.

At this stage someone needs to reduce benefits and increase opportunity over at least a decade rather than suddenly just take them away or provide public services which don't work. It's a massive project , but one in which we don't have a choice because they're rapidly running out of other people's money to fund their madness.

Stuff like pensions and genuine unemployment payments for temporary periods, and support for people with genuine health problems needn't be effected. In fact , in a more sensible system they could be increased.
Bit baffled because my post made no assumptions about your position whatsoever.

If you think pensions shouldn't be affected you should have probably said that since this is a thread about (drumroll please) pensions.
