that is my opinion, this guy is saying very reasonable things and is difficult to disagree with Mr. Krugman, actually it goes without saying, it is just common sense - what he said. Also it is important who is saying such things and what impact it can have on other "heavy duty thinkers" like you, darling. Orajd?

Hardly getting over it.
Globalism wasn't born in the USA. It was born with the triangular slave trade and the rise of the East India Company, centuries ago. You're conflating neoliberal capitalism (actually born in Austria about a hundred years ago, but hey-ho) with globalism and globalisation.
It's not a one-way stream.
Really? "Everything"? Even in a world as interconnected as ours is, that's not true.
I have a strange feeling you'd call anyone an intellectual, even a 12-year old child, if they displayed a better, less ridiculous grasp on geopolitics than you've so far shown.
Nie, kochanie. BTW the word is "alright". World politics that way --------------------------------------------------------------------------->
I do hope that your lips weren't moving as you struggled to make sense of this.
You must be "heavy duty thinker", then. I feel smell of "common sense" here, orjad?
Nie. Battle-scarred cynic and disappointed to have long since discovered that common sense is scarce (and hardly used). General section that way if you insist on chit chat -------------------------->You must be "heavy duty thinker", then. I feel smell of "common sense" here, orjad?
Meanwhile, I'll go back to such trivia as attempting to work out what the impact of next year's benefits increases will have in relation to the benefits cap. Each time I attempt it, my eyes insist on sliding off the PDF.
What kind of "grasp of geopolitic" you showed? tell me
P.S. I am very impressed of your Economy history knowledge, that means something to me. ;-)
Okay, can anyone on here apart from the twit who thinks that the USA is directly relevant to this section tell me this please?
How will the benefit cap affect a 2 adult household (no children) where both are of working age, and one currently receives the premium related to Carer's Allowance, while the other receives high-high DLA, IB, and there's a joint claim for IS. There's also rent of approximately £500 pcm currently covered by HB (apart from about £20). The figures are out there on the net, but I just can't make sense of how they interact.

Your continued pointless insults are not acceptable. Kindly desist.
That's only the cap for the housing benefit and council tax benefit. I'm referring to the benefit cap which will come in in April (or would) if Universal Credit starts.
I smell LLETSA, or is it Falcon?

In answer to the question, I can't find anything definite about the benefit cap in England. What's out there seems to suggest that a household where someone's getting DLA will be exempt from the cap, but it all seems a bit vague, and may depend on whatever numbers IDS pulls out of the air between now and whenever the whole damn shambles gets implemented.
(ETA - in relation to UC that is)

The thing is, DLA is exempt, but CA isn't and neither is IB/ESA - ah fuck it. If it happens it happens.

The way I read it, a household where someone gets DLA will be exempt, so the other benefits don't matter in this case.
PIP and support group ESA also appear to trigger exemption from the benefits cap where it happens now
My source here (which is Scotland, but is linked to from one of Advice Guide England's pages on the subject...)
All of this of course is subject to change.
Thanks, that was sort of what it looked like but... I said this would happen, I said it was coming, and what the fuck did anyone who could have stopped it do to stop it? Not a lot.
So now, while there's still a roof over my head, and while I'm not yet about to be shoved onto workfare, and until my husband is sent to a rehabilitation centre (also in the pipeline), I have the luxury of being scared and angry but unable to do any-fucking-thing about it. All this time, where the fuck is any left of centre MP? What the fuck have the unions done? Even thew SWP who'll *ahem* support any protest given the chance seem to have been amazingly silent when it comes to benefits claimants and disabled people.
Neither kidding nor exaggerating. People with certain conditions, including M.E., will be sent for rehabilitation in residential centres. The alternative is a highly probable loss of benefits.<snip>

The exemptions are similar to the existing cap, under current plans for UC, households in which a partner or dependent child claims DLA or PIP are exempt from the cap. Meaning that all other benefits received are unaffected if you or your partner claim DLA/PIP.

She called you "sweetie".
The only way to save yourself is "yes, ma'am". Do you have your own forelock? If not, borrow one. Fast.
Incidentally, I agree with her: posters who do no more than spew links are invariably shitheads.
ETA: fixed now, editor. Apologies [explanation for the archivists: tapatalk did its legendary quote-random-post-from-dawn-of-time nonsense, and happened to pick one of editor's posts]

It are done.
Soz to ceaselessy keep being LLETSA's cheerleader but I doubt it's him. Almost every one of his aliases have been a forename and a surname IFSWIM, and when he's come back he's never adopted a persona, he's always just posted as himself.
Anyway, I've had a bit of a look for info about the benefit cap & I can't make head nor tale of it either. Soz. Fingers crossed for you though. Like that's any use.
'kinell. I thought i'd seen it being suggested, didn't realise it'd actually been made do-able. That's terrifying.
Everything crossed that you & vp aren't hit by this new tsunami of inhumane shit/that DLA exempts you from the benefit cap.
Actually, make that fingers crossed for any/everyone who may be affected by it all.
^^ Not very well put, but ykwim.
Where is the source for this?, its back to the 19th C, it certainly won't be convalescence as it used to be understood, its basically criminalising illness.
