The Eugenics movement

The buzz word these days is SUSTAINABILITY. Now we are expected to be concerned about unsustainable pressures like the young having to plug the gap in the care budget which has been reduced by austerity. No mention of getting rid of austerity which is making things worse.

Then we are informed that the gap in the care budget has actually been plugged by tightening the eligibility rules for the elderly. So why mention unsustainble pressures on the young at all?

But I think we will be hearing a lot more propaganda like that. The young are supposed to feel aggrieved and hard done by because of the elderly and their care needs.

Families and the NHS are being placed under "unsustainable pressure" to plug the gap created by major cuts to care for elderly and disabled people, the public spending watchdog has warned.

The National Audit Office found that despite a Government pledge to protect social care from the impact of austerity, spending on help for older people in England plunged by 12 per cent in just two years in real terms.

While councils have spoken of protecting services by focusing on other cost-saving measures, the NAO concluded that the vast majority of the reduction had been achieved by cutting the amount of care provided by tightening the eligibility rules.
