What's child benefit running at £10bn? 10% cut across the board = £1bn saved.

Even if your not bothered or affected to much you must see how unfair this is

I have a small mortgage and have always lived within my means but whatever way you turn this my family and a million others will have £1400 less spending power when the cuts take effect. This will have a knock on effect to lots of others as I won't be able to spend that £1400 eating out, weekends away buying electrical goods and so on.

Edit. Just read that back and it sounds like I'm spending our child benefit on all that shit. We actually save it, but I intend to continue the savings from my own earnings. That's what I won't be able to spend.
