Sky News Slammed for Welfare Cuts 'Nonsense'

Let's do the economics of it first.Where does he have room to try and cut the welfare bill?Well, I think that's in some ways not the right question.

There's a lot of nonsense talked, including, unfortunately, on Sky about the spiraling welfare bill.If you look at the welfare bill, as a proportion of national income, how much of the overall economy is devoted to the welfare bill.It's lower than it was 15 years ago, and it's pretty much back what it was under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.So this idea that it's out of control is just wrong.
