A Public Spirited Proposal

A substantial proportion of Government expenditure consists in paying unfunded index linked pensions to retired employees of central and local government.

As a recipient of such a pension I sometimes feel just a little guilty.

I therefore propose a 10% cut in all such pensions, accompanied by a doubling of the pension contributions paid by all working in jobs that entitle them to such pensions.
