I do wonder if an expert has ever given the answer, “reduce social welfare”.
Because this seem like the answer “campaigners and economists” give no matter what the question is.
Ah yes.
Fight inflation by pumping more money into the loop.
That’s always worked before right?
I think they should pay more out for social welfare recipients – but I want them to cut the amount out of current expenditure and tell us where they cut it from.
Yep. Most of the professionals I know got 10-20% pay rises last year so we’re already covered for inflation. It’s not fair to leave people on social welfare and minimum wage behind.
My dole is paying your taxes. You should be grateful. Angry middle class yuppies can fuck off to their suburban hovels.
Public servant here. Got a rise of one euro a day last week but I should be lucky to have a job.
Id be fine with raising social welfare, if we did away with all the ridiculous allowances.
Pet allowance? TV license allowance? etc.
Get away ta fuck
The rate of claiming prsi definitely needs to go up to at least 300 a week
You mean raise my taxes. Your welcome.
I mean if they’re considering giving artists €325 for nothing, the least the government should do is extend that same amount to those of us on long-term SW payments.
Economists should come with a warning like the warnings on packets of cigarettes. Solution to inflation? Create more debt and give out more money…
That would just increase inflation…
One more tax rise and I will be needing social welfare myself… Inflation is killing me as well.
Lol the tax rate is already insane, how are they going to pay for more social welfare?
Then the working people won’t work. The raise should be for everyone.
A perfect arguement for universal basic income
Anything that is seen to benefit the poor will enrage centrist dads and ffg voters.
Do it anyway for other reasons, but it probably won’t help with inflation. Won’t work.
We need to eat the rich. And I mean the PROPER rich. The 0.1% Not literally, but taxes, fees, etc. That we can live in a society which has so much disgusting excess at the top but people struggling to survive at the bottom is a massive injustice. The people at the bottom might not be literally dying on the streets of starvation or anything en masse as they may have done in years gone by, but the gap between the poor and the wealthiest has never been greater. And it’s the wealthy that need to pick up the slack.
That won’t necessarily fix inflation either but it will enable the poorest to cope with it. Just printing money will not help anyone long term.
