    Actually it's cheaper to give the brats unemployment benefit and housing benefit then put them in an institution.

    Prisons are expensive as you have to pay for the court system, the staff, food, clothing, etc.

    Yes ideally that and then those that do not get killed come back with some discipline and do something positive with their lives.

    Sadly they just come back with the ability to fight better and go back to the old routine.

    If accompanied by more jobs for the working class then fine.

    Most of his spending will probably go to QE and hence to the bankers.

    Yikes. That may mean a stark choice between not upgrading the plasma TV to continue watching Jeremy Kyle, or reining in the deep fried pizzas.
