And very easily fixed.
No benefits after 2 years of any kind. And, no extra benefits for the 2nd, 3rd or however many additional kids.
If the "mother" cannot thereafter properly take care of the child, the child should go into the foster care system...or, perhaps better, orphanages.
It's better for everyone...except the government-childcare-welfare complex.
“No benefits after 2 years of any kind. And, no extra benefits for the 2nd, 3rd or however many additional kids.”
I agree. TANF signed into law by Clinton in the late ‘90’s removed the entitlement aspect of Welfare and reduced lifetime benefits to 48 months(it was an election year). This should again be revisited to reduce the time to 2 years.
The problem is, before TANF funds expire they move onto SSI/SSDI. This lasts a lifetime.
