A scary thought occurred to me

I was thinking about ye olden times and how people would have a lot of kids because some were bound to die of disease, and/or more kids meant more hands to work on the farm/family business. I remembered reading how expensive it was becoming to raise kids, and figured most people just plain couldn't afford more kids.

Then I thought about welfare, and how having more kids gets you more money, and how people were MAKING MONEY by having kids they couldn't afford. The government We would be ARE paying people to be irresponsible.

We are rewarding people for being irresponsible.

I don't even want to think about what these welfare babies have in their future.
