I already thought they wanted to ditch or at least reduce the minimum wage but I hadn't thought through how the housing benefit cut might help this. I was ranting at the news last night, at Cameron with his 'can't afford your own home, move back in with your parents' nonsense - he really doesn't have a clue how a lot of families live, does he? I mean okay, my sister was still living at home in her early 20s and I have one friend who moved back home temporarily after uni, but I also had a school friend who lived with her grandparents and got thrown out at 16 and I grew up in a fairly affluent area and went to a school where pretty much everyone had at least one parent who worked.
Your second footnote pretty much sums up my feelings.
