He is right but I am fairly certain the bill will not address the elephant in the room which is irresponsible women who have no interest in their being a father in the picture and consider him only as a sperm donor and a court ordered ATM. These women often have children by several men.
and this is not a new societal problem.
I friend of mine, dead now, told a story of his policing days 40 years ago and on his days off was asked to accompany female social service workers who had to go into rough places in the city to interview welfare recipients - not in uniform, of course.
He told of going into homes in which there would be four, five or more children each with a different father. The mother drew welfare payments for each child plus sued the fathers and received payments for non-support.
In other words, the woman made a pretty good business out of having children.
Good point. Reagan brought it up already in A Time for Choosing.
...and YOU get to support them!
