British Government Proposes Largest Spending Cuts since World War II
The British government is proposing the largest cuts to public spending since World War Two, asking for reductions in benefits and cutting 25 percent of jobs in the next four years.
I think that this is going to cause a lot of problems trying to cut that much in a short time span. People are going to be upset because they wont be able to have a job or get one because majority will be cut or let go.
