Unemployment benefits are to only last a set amount of time = more incentive / pressure to get a job! Jobs get taxed, more money to the state. Currently there's so little pressure to work it's not funny.

Reduced public services = Perhaps increases in efficiency that have fallen in the last decade. Novel ways of undertaking activities. Might even stop doing pointless services. Can't afford to pay for what? Interesting how many things are viewed as essential that didn't exist even 50 years ago.

Increased higher education costs = More incentive to think before getting on a degree and to value one's degree. Better campuses to compete with China / India / the USA and improve the intellectual capital. Loan paid back of the next 30 YEARS, only when earning a salary and then written off. Still subsidies for the poorest, and increase in investment in the poorest children in schools in real terms.
