Let’s face it: despite many people’s protestations to the contrary, too many folks have an automatic trust of government. When there is a problem, many of us don’t like to think of government as the problem but as the solution. Add to that the near phobia that many have about economics as business and what do we get? Pretty much what we have now: a government going billions of dollars IN debt in attempts to get the economy OUT of debt, We get a government doing such idiotic things as bailing out companies for whom bankruptcy is imminent and buying up banks.

I heard on the radio last night that the Government released official figures saying that they pay £20 million a year on Child Support for Polish children who live in Poland, but whose parents live in the UK.

Only £20 million? I guess they are only official figures. I am rather surpirsed it is as low as that, either they are lying badly or they have decreased the figure over the years. That said, us taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for those in different countries full stop.

Yeah. Just think about the amount of money being sent over to Poland, between people claiming Child Benefit for children in Poland and claiming other benefits for 3 months after they leave the UK. It must run into the billions.
