I actually agree with this. It is simply unfair to keep chopping away at working age benefits while excluding the state pension and pensioner benefits. Especially when pensions make up the bulk of the welfare cost...
IDS has a habit of including pensions in the welfare budget when justifying his cuts..using the excuse the welfare spending is out of control, yet excluding all things pensioner related when he makes the cuts. Welfare spending will continue to rise no matter how many working age benefits you cut..as people are still getting older..while pensioners cant be touched, the welfare bill will NEVER go down.
