In 2011 the level of public spending on the welfare state by the British Government accounted for £113.1 billion, or 16% of government. By 2020 welfare spending will rise to 1/3rd of all spending making it the largest expense followed by housing benefit, council tax benefit, benefits to the unemployed, and benefits to people with low incomes. But then I have to argue, what happens to maintain human capital and giving others a jump start back in life. Welfare competes with churches in taking care of the poor or converting someone their way. $$$$. How about reduce military spending and bring more of the money back home in our addiction to keep oil supported and promoted. How about looking at government expenditures and inefficiency in spending the taxpayer's money?
