Another mother who didn’t do her job. Another of the 73% of black families where no father is present. Here’s an idea: Instead of higher welfare payments when the father is NOT present, how ‘bout lower payments when the father isn’t present. Let’s make that penalty $10,000/year. You don’t think momma’s going to go after the father with that much cash on the line?

“Instead of higher welfare payments when the father is NOT present, how ‘bout lower payments when the father isn’t present.”

Perhaps limit welfare to a mother and her offspring to five years maximum for the set if a child of hers conceived out of wedlock winds up on welfare.

The limitation would not apply to Medicaid for the children or to prenatal or birthing care for the mother.

Another thing would be to reduce benefits over time for things like SNAP, Section 8 and the PPACA. Benefits might get reduced by 1% per month while on the program and the percentage reductions would get reduced by 2% a month when off the program.

100%

The safety net would still be there, but its size would get reduced monthly. Working would gradually restore its size over time.

You assume that the welfare system wasn't purposely designed to destroy the nuclear family. I think the powers that be like having a permanent criminal class they can use to further beat down the population.
