I say wrong.

People like Ian Duncan Smith annoy me, he spends a few weeks on and off living with people on benefits and thinks he is now the great supremo as to life on benefits.
What he fails to grasp is that living on them all seasons of the year week in and week out is a lot harder than he would find for a few weeks.

As has been said above, what about the people who have more than 2 Children, who have worked solidly,then find themselves out of work.
In my view this would be unworkable to be just and fair. What is even more worrying is that Ian Duncan Smith, a Minister of Govt has such ideas in the first place, frankly I cannot get how he has any say as to peoples lives and incomes anyway.
He is a failed Politician, he will likely go down as the worst ever Conservative leader, even his own party didn't trust him to lead them in an election and got rid of him as leader before he could.

This is, in my view, another hammer being taken out against the people in the out of work, benefit system. It has really unsavoury likely results if it ever was to become the norm though.
It would in effect be an attack on the most defenceless of society, babies and Children, because he would be denying further support for a Child born to a couple,who because they were out of work, dared to disobey a rule that they could only have 2 children to have support for.

Yes, people should be able to in the perfect society,plan and make sure they can afford to have Children.
We are not though, a perfect society and this idea is a pretty disgraceful one too just like the heartless mind that has the idea in the first place.

There seems no limit to the depths this man will go to to wield his sledgehammer as to the poorest and most vulnerable.
Over to the Lib Dems,let's see what they make of this, could this be another rotten policy they could be bought to support in the future.

Personally however, I cannot see it happening this side or the other side of the 2015 election.
