How will you find more spending with less growth?
EG NHS receives hundreds of billions more now than in 2016
Less growth means government doesnât have to keep expanding services, laying infrastructure, building more thingsâŠ
Find a âsweet spotâ, stick to itâŠthat keeps the budget reasonable, and money is there for needed repairs and upgrades to existent systems.
Where I live, they are encouraging more people to move there, building more housing, and having to increase the infrastructure for those placesâŠwhich costs moneyâŠ
If they didnât encourage that, they wouldn;t be spending all that moneyâŠ
Hhmm.
This thread seems to have got a bit stuck in NHS expenditure chat. Which is not wrong - but needs something about the drivers of NHS costs. Not nurses or doctors costs but the illness that requires care - especially preventable illness.
- Overweight. Preventable, or reduceable, with tax and legislation. Improved by social fitness funding.
- Diabetes (type 2). See 1
- Alcohol abuse. Tax tax tax

We either grow / stagnate, with each there will be painâŠ
âwhich do you want ?
The pain of staying where you are,
or the pain of growing ?â
âIf youâre not growing, youâre either stagnant, or slowly dying- spiritually + emotionally. Itâs challenging because choosing to stay where we are is rooted in the familiarity of where we are. We see it, we know it, we recognize it⊠because itâs what weâve always known. Familiarity provides a sense of comfortâŠand yet if youâre not careful it can also be a false safety that leaves us entangledâ trapped⊠in a world of dysfunction.â
