We are. Or we are supposed to be. This is why I would actually like to see the MPs affected as well as us. What I don't think would work is just cutting the money spent on the Houses of Parliament and various MP residences/offices etc.

2. The benefits bill is the largest but by far the biggest chunk of it goes on pensions, see how far they get if they try and hammer the old.

That's the thing.. You can ask the poor to limit the number of kids they have. Give them free and easy access to Condoms or other birth control devices, and you could argue they have little excuse for getting pregnant. Yes it would cost money for the condoms, but I'd wager it won't cost the state anywhere near what another baby would cost.
What you can't do, short of killing them, is stop people getting older.
