Whilst it would set a good example the savings are miniscule compared to the burgeoning bill for tax credits. Any change in benifits will produce winners and losers, it's inevitable.
Replacing the need for tax credits by getting employers to pay a bit more is IMHO the way to go. The mistake here is to phase out credits before wage increases have had a chance to compensate.
As to whether Dave really lied you have to examine what he said. Like any politician read what he actually said rather than what you thought he said.
IIRC the increase in wages to compensate for tax credit cuts was to be only fully compensated by the END of the current parliament. i.e 2020.
