  1. I notice that as usual “Domestic Abuse” is prominent. To get the sympathy and shut up anyone who suggests this is nonsense. And Disability, as if Disabled men are somehow rolling in money (and men are the majority of the disabled people of working age) “unpaid carers” yet we are in an era where there are in fact few “unpaid carers” of working age, particularly if one excludes those paid by “tax credits” etc. And over 65 there are almost as many male “unpaid carers” as female. The whole thing is about an imaginary world based in suburban America in the post war boom. And of course it airbrushes out the actual reality for still the majority, wherein they live in a “household” with a bloke and the household income is what is real.

  2. It’s simple. You take a two-earner household and transform it into a one earner household (or on the Single Parent Pension plan), income is reduced.

    The Gov’t magic money tree can’t fund the gap. The result is a lower standard of living or higher taxes for everyone else. What’s to understand?
