Stop thinking so narrowly and you might see the real problems.
The problem is the same in most Western countries and my posts address that wider problem. Conservatives promise tax cuts, Socialists promise more spending. Both promise this will not effect the country long term and will benefit it. They lie to get voted into power by sheep who believe them.
So please think the wider picture, because the trouble your country is in, is made worse by the trouble the EU is in, we're not buying as much of your goods as we were. That might of been memberships to your sites or memberships off the galleries you were pushing when you made your millions.
Now if the West stops the borrowing, the money flowing around the system will be reduced and you will see less. If Western Governments cut spending, this will mean more people spending less, less memberships.
Unemployed spend money in shops where people have jobs, and head office employ people. There's also a lot of people working in the welfare system, do they lose their jobs as well?
I'll use the UK as an example.
Unemployment in the UK now stands at 2.59 million. So cut each one by $10 a week each, leads to $25.9 million less being spent in shops. $1346.8 million.
There were 29.12 million people in employment in the UK. That puts $46 a year in the pockets of those in work. Yes 88 cents a week extra to spend. But there not a dime more in the UK economy.
what would you spend 88 cents a week on?
My maths might be out a bit, but try it yourself and see were you end up. Also it makes no difference if you carry the cuts through to the office workers working in the benefits office. Same end result. Shifting money from Jim to John, doesn't create jobs or wealth. It might even cost you joins.
