I think the aim is to stop spending benefits on families that don't need them. Not too sure of my view quite yet as I too don't really understand it. The media all seem to have tackled a different angle to this and it's confused me.
If it turns out it stops those sapping the tax payer and helps the genuine ones who need it (along with other benefit changes they're introducing) then it helps stop this sick society of popping kids out to get a house and an income, and then more to 'earn' more, and helps encourage people to get into work and earn a wage to pay tax (therefore helping the taxpayer long-term - which is what I think this government is actually doing rather than screwing it up big time like the last) then its a good thing.
And I'm sure that's what it is meant to be, though from getting confused over all the press it doesn't look clear to be honest.
