Can you see that far into the future? How do you know those children won’t grow up to become productive citizens?
One way to guarantee that they will be “wards of the state” is to force both parents to work to support the children, without a stay at home parent.
As I stated, cheaper living arrangements should be found for them, they should make no demands on where they should live, if it is on others’ dime.
I’m not looking at the future. I’m looking at the results of the past sixty or so years of welfare spending right here in the US.
