One could suspect that, not only does increased government spending not create morality, it may cause morality to decay at ever quickening speeds:
British children are more likely to develop drink problems and fall pregnant despite billions of pounds spent by Labour on education and welfare, a leading economic think tank has found.
A third of all 13 to 15-year-olds have been drunk at least twice, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said.
That is the highest rate of any of the 30 countries in the OECD study.
And 15-year-old girls in the UK were more likely to have been drunk than boys, the shocking report found.
Britain spends more than £90,000 per child from birth to the age of 18, more than the OECD average of £80,000.
