Doesn't he realise that it costs about as much to means test people, than it will rake in.

Hello Alan

its likely pensioner benefits will be means tested especially as Child benefits have just become means tested (albeit for those earning over £50000 ) and Universal Credit will not be available for those with savings of over £16000 unlike current tax credits where you can have a million quid in the pot and still qualify.

Yeh,
I've been lurking now and again on here, but not as often as I used to, maybe like a lot of people, appathy has set in. I;m not sure putting your views across makes any difference anymore, especially to M.P.' s0 -

I know what you mean Alan it's hard to summon up the energy these days.
Elizabeth you are right about the Child Ben - not going to affect many I know though.
Love

Hi Toni
I know people who earn a good wage but also rent out a spare property or two so it will show on their tax form and might take them over the limit. I expect they will just put more into a pension pot.

When they check the MP's salary and not get any percentage increase, then and only then can they talk about us oldies. Excuse me, I'm NOT old just reaching maturity.0

Ah Alan, I used to be apathetic but now I can't be bothered.
There are debts to be settled and the only way that can happen is by tightening belts, not by spending more. That applies both to an individual and collective basis, basically no-one likes it whether they are are sorting out their overdraft or trying to sort out the country. No matter, the coalition will be be voted out and we will probably return to the Red way of spending ourselves back into trouble (which could also be tinged with yellow such is the 'morality' of the Lib Dems). Happiness is. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
But a lot of the spending was to bail out the banks. I also wonder how MP's can understand about cuts and belt tightening when they can just dip into the expenses pot any time they like without a thought for who is paying for it.
