Bring in a modern version of the Houses of Industry and do away with this kids being better off with their parent/s rubbish. Sensitively run institutions Vs crap home life with crap parent/s has to be preferred.
That way motivate those in social bins to work their way out and up. It will do free up housing for those in need of housing who can afford them.
After all if one can't afford to live the way one wants then the right response is to live the way one CAN afford and work at increasing ones income to increase ones living standard. If there's no possibility of doing so then basically tough. Nobody ever said that life was fair.

Re: Paying for Social Care.
But AT if folks believe they, or the current generations, are paying,through their taxes, into a pot for old age, I don't think that is quite the same as being on benefits and not working. My thought is that we have not been paying enough or someone has had their fingers into it. If we all turned over to private insurance with defined "benefits" earmarked for certain things I think that would work. However, it should work, I think, if we all pay into a communal pot. There must be someone in these government departments who are capable of doing the forecasting and applying the maths.
