Free up some money to fix the banks? More like free up some money to fix this lil country.

Not scrapped they need cash but should have to do something for it, even if it's only 10 or 20 hours community service a week to benefit the community and themselves.

And what do you think should happen to the 15% of the population who rely on it to feed and clothe themselves?

Who's jobs will the unemployed be taking?

And what about people like myself who only lost my job last week???
Should I not be able to get the dole until I find a job again which I've been looking for since I lost my job last Wednesday or am I put into the same category as all them junkies and low life's drinking the dole?

A lot more than 15% of adults. food stamps should suffice
