The more Britons spend, the more their culture declines

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.

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.
