UK: Disability cut was a mistake.

[Dondilion]

George Osborne, Chancellor for the Exchequer, in the British government was forced to admit that the plans in the new budget to reduce benefits to the disable were a mistake.

A fellow Minister, Duncan Smith, resigned after protesting the planned benefits reduction in a budget which included tax savings for the wealthy.

What they mean is they mistakenly thought they could get by with it.

Indeed!

Osborne still has an attitude even when he admitted that it was a mistake. Just shameless.

I am pleased to note that it still exist: the British tradition of resigning (Duncan Smith) from a body when its action becomes personally unpalatable.

Only in America you find people gullible enough to believe in taking one for the wealthy is the right thing to do.
