This post is about the cost of welfare. Lets see what we can do here. The current budget for training is $1000.00. If we, say raise it to $10000.00 (not all of it spent), then the government of the day would have to spend about 7 billion dollars (one off payment). Thats a lot of money. Right ?
Now, there are 600000 people unemployed at $ 12,600.00 (CPI indexed) (most of these are probably long term unemployed). The total cost is $7.56 billion dollars per year (CPI indexed).
If the government of the day were to take the above option, then we have high quality training for the unemployed and maybe get a good, high paying job.
Get the picture ?
