The cut in Job Seeker's allowance by one third is not at all in proportion to high earners' pension cuts.
Why?
A person who works three days a week and is unemployed for two days and is on the basic allowance loses one third of his/her allowance as a result of today's budget.
If the Dublin Government announced today that no-one can earn more than €100.000 per year and cut all State pensions to a maximum of €50,000, maybe they could be taken as honourable people.
As it stands it appears they are simply another set of political huxters with neither vistion nor care.
