I think this sums up what most people have known all along..those on lower incomes (wether it be low wages, benefits or both) have and will take the brunt for the economic situation... more likely that rich bankers and such have spent more money on drugs and gambling than all the 3 million unemployed put together!....Child poverty: Benefits can do more harm than good, says Iain Duncan Smith | Mail Online

Official figures published in George Osborne’s autumn statement on Tuesday indicate child poverty is set to increase by 100,000 over the coming years. And the Institute for Fiscal Studies thinktank has suggested that lower income groups are bearing the brunt of the Government’s cuts.

But David Cameron insisted yesterday that the rich were carrying a much larger share of the burden than the poor
