Mass immigration for a decade of Eastern Europeans coming to the UK to work. Does the UK have full employment? It must do surely. People wouldn't be unemployed whilst there are jobs to do that we have to get in others to fill? Uh, yes there are. Why is this? A system where benefits is more attractive than working - yet others are prepared to immigrate to do it...
The unemployed don't have to sit there waiting the next government job to come along. They could set up enterprises themselves! Do something without the State being involved. Heresy I know.
As jobs are basically infinite (although many oddly not wanted, as I said earlier). Persons can create them by doing new things. Innovation? I know, another dirty word.
Driving up wages achieves one of two things:
- Inflation (1970's Labour)
- Massive Government Debt (2000's Labour)
I realise that you seem to think printing and handing out money to all at a rate that would make Mugabe blush is a good idea, but oddly enough this tends to destabilise... everything.
Humans are generally extremely resourceful. They can find activities to do if need be. Currently doing nothing just happens to be the better option. I'm not blaming, nor telling the unemployed what to do. I am just not prepared to subsidise their inactivity when many jobs are either going unfilled or to migrant workers.
