Pensioners, children and students will be among the victims of public spending cuts in UK
Commenting on the TaxPayers’ Alliance and Institute of Directors joint report
How to Save £50 Billion published today (Friday), TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
‘We should be grateful to the TaxPayers’ Alliance and the Institute of Directors for spelling out exactly who the victims of public expenditure cuts will be.
‘They explode the idea that cuts can be just painless efficiency savings and reveal that the victims will be pensioners, children, students, the poor and parents.
‘Particularly striking is the absence of any cuts in the welfare state for the super-rich, such as tax relief on the huge pensions that top directors pay themselves.’
