An 18-year-old woman with three daughters
Chattel....this is what SNAP, WICs, Section 8, EITC are all about. Get some, get some government money. Easy as that.
But, there is a diminishing return built in there. At some point the incremental government benefit doesn’t keep up with the family population, and the cost benefit curve maxes out. Additionally, too many children near the same age above the basic optimum set is a waste and an additional drain. Better to space them out in time. Ergo, the occasional abortion.
Triplets!
