67000 x £26000 (at the minimum) = £1,742,000,000
hardly "fuck all", is it?

The total cost of benefits is over 40 billion though
And by reducing maximum benefits to 26K you only save about 200 million. So it's not making any sort of significant difference in total government spending.

that's only one way to look at it though
what could you do for hospitals/schools if you had another 200,000,000?

I doubt that any "savings"
Will actually end up with hospitals etc
