Another thing that pisses me off about NatACT is the rhetoric about cutting "government spending". What they actually mean is abolishing jobs in public services, and for every one of them, that's someone pushed onto a benefit and using other publicly-funded welfare services. The cost total of which could be as much or more than the cost of their salary, without the public service getting the benefit of their work.

It's not good economics, it's small-minded, short-sighted and mean.
