Agree with you, why cut social welfare, when most of the people on it now are people who have worked all their lives and paid taxes mostly at the higher rate and now they are reduced to living on €204 a week due to no fault of their own. This will be a disgrace if they cut social welfare. People are living in fear of losing jobs and this is what they have to look forward to. People who have paid into this should not be punished for the big wigs mistakes.
