given the sh*t that gov'ts do with your pensions and u want people to contribute more, thats why i don't have a high opinion of economists
Not state pensions. Private pensions. I agree about state pensions. I think that people won't get them.
How do you propose forcing people to save for a pension? Do you think the public would react positively to the government forcing them to do something with their money?
No different from a tax hike but it is different from an interest rate rise. People have a choice whether or not to borrow money, and how much.
