Default Re: Welfare myths

Most of the higher benefit"earners" are getting shed loads of housing benefit.Its actually a nice little earner for landlords who charge huge rents and get it paid by the State.Also most of these recipients are working and getting benefit as top ups,so removing it would mean they couldnt live where they currently do,or the landlords would have to charge much lower rents.IDS is now up against a powerful landlord lobby who wont be taking his medicine lying down.It will be interesting to see who blinks first in that stand off.
