Most public sector schemes are only 'technically' funded - inasmuch as they rely on income/benefit receipts/payments - Exchequer top-ups - and a whole bunch of IOUs future generations will be asked to redeem. One of Gorgon Broon's 1st stealth taxes was to grab back some 5 billion pa of 'tax concessions' to the private sector. Of neutral effect to his gross mismanagement of public sector pensions, where fiddling the numbers. postponing liabilities for others to meet, is the order of the day. Why did he do it - refusing all advice to the contrary ?
