Ok we have seen the Tories first attempt at reigning in some of this spend, and seeing Cameron being interviewed today about it was very cringeworthy. Repeatedly being told by a reporter that you have not answered the question asked was humiliating in my opinion.
But knowing we now live in a society that has a huge reliance on the benefits system, what do you propose to fix it? I don't mean shooting all junkies etc but genuine plans that could be implemented and work within the parameters that we have. I am thinking about things that we have like dodgy doctors, lawyers, landlords etc.
So for every £ saved on child benefit, there will be someone else being signed off on invalidity that isn't, someone else with a scam on housing benefit and someone else prepared to take their case on in a no win, no fee basis.
So how do we get people off benefits and into work, how do we reduce the amount spent on housing, how do we prevent the serial baby producers?
