Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
Quote:
“This country faces a very simple choice,” he (Osborne) told MPs. “We have got 1% of the world’s population, 4% of its GDP, but we undertake 7% of the world’s welfare spending.
“We can either carry on on a completely unsustainable path or we can continue to reform welfare so that work pays and we give a fair deal to those on welfare and indeed a fair deal to the people, the taxpayers of this country, who pay for it.”

7% of all the benefits in the world are paid to UK citizens - 30 million receive some sort of state benefit.
