Unless society changes some how in the future (I don’t know how) we won’t be able to provide better services etc… for retired people who haven’t planned in advance, we’ll struggle to provide what we provide today!
You can’t compare bailing out the banks to providing better pensions.
Firstly the banking crisis is a one off, the cost of supplying old age pensions etc… is going to increase year on year forever.
Secondly to bail out the banks the country had to go in debt, which our children will be paying off for years. No one in their right political mind would suggest going into debt to give pensioners more money now.
