For Newsnight: should we end universal benefits for better off pensioners?

No way! It has been proved before that the cost of means testing outweighs any savings achieved.

Our budget was carefully calculated before retiring and we live in fear of sudden changes (always cuts) to the benefits which are an integral part of that budget.

'The money to be spent on childcare'? - we already devote almost all of our spare cash and time to caring for our grandchildren. This is just another attack in the war that the government is trying to promote between the old and the young.

I think we've discussed this on here somewhere before!
What would their definition of 'better off' be? How would it be assessed?
