Benefit Software Debacle - The poor execution of a bad idea

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/iain-duncan-smith-insists-benefit-reform-is-on-track-8992509.html

£40 million wasted on useless software by the admission of Iain Duncan Smith. So much for the Coalition's austerity.

Iain Duncan Smith, of course, being the same inept minister who publicly claimed that he could live on the £53 per week that some on benefits are forced to subsist on.

Well, Mr Smith, if you had actually put your money where your mouth is and accepted the Change petition calling on you to try it (http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/iain-duncan-smith-iain-duncan-smith-to-live-on-53-a-week) you could have subsisted on the wasted software money for 754,717 weeks (approximately 14,514 years).

In short, you might want to consider the cost of your hypocritical and blinkered attack on the poor and disadvantaged before you cause even more real damage to the people of this country.
