# 26.Spot on.
Benefit fraud is common knowledge and nobody in Government regards benefit fraud as a `Significant` cost.
It is a rhetorical twist Osborne uses by placing his welfare reforms in the `territory` of stopping cheats,but the cuts
he/Government introduce have nothing to do with fraud,they appliy to `all` welfare claimants.
The cheats of benefit fraud need to be stopped but they are only 1 % of the benefit costs.
The rhetoric used by Government tacitly turns everyone who claims welfare into a `cheat`
It is socially very divisive.
It stigmatizes.
It is subtly slanderous and is immoral.
Unfortunately it taints all benefit claimants and it is regularly used by `some` to continue the misconception.
# 29....Agree...the cobbled together government is like an ``Iceberg``...the top part is the so called``compassionate``face
and the bit below the surface is the nasty stuff.
