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.

So instead of breaking it down and seeing what costs most, the pensions, they hammer all the disabled, jobless and children under the guise of tackling the welfare bill, to me its more ideological than anything, considering all the cash atos and a4e are milking out of it I just can't see how they will save anything and that's what Gideons all about, what loophole or exemption did he rule out for the richest among us as the saving was a trifle again.
