The statistic you are quoting is that only 20% of the sample believe that if they find themselves in need of social services help, they will get adequate help from the system. This isn't just welfare payments (although that's part of it). It's a host of other things, even honest hard-working people might need at some point. It's help for disabled, it's medicine and medical care, it's disability payments, it's affordable child care for working mothers, it's mental health care, just to mention a few.Risa Tzoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012097234847651866noreply@blogger.com
