George Osborne
George Osborne wishes to reduce the current deficit and cut benefits and Iain Duncan Smith (the man who created Centre for Social Justice) wishes to get the more disadvantaged and poor people back into work. He wants to help them, help themselves by getting them back into work. For the welfare system to be reformed to save money in the future, alot of money will have to be spent now. Osborne believes that cutting the wealthy's winter fuel payments and scrapping child tax credits isn't enough. Osborne and Smith are working together - they have made a 'deal'. Osborne wants to cut benefits and Smith believes by cutting benefits it will give the poorer people in society an incentive to work. [1]
Osbornes cuts affect the people Smith is trying to help with the Centre for Social Justice. Osborne is introducing a cap on every household in terms of benefits. Annually each household will only be allowed the Maximum of £26,000 in benefits. This will cost the most disadvantaged families in British society £93 a week. Child benefit will also be taken from families who are seen able to pay a higher rate of tax. This will affect 1.2 million households and will cost one child families £1,055 a year and approximately £2,500 for families with three children. [2]
