Most of the people on welfare are single mothers who have never been married.

Give the kids to their fathers to support and take full time care of. Single mother problem solved. Next?

Yeah, sure. Often they can't even FIND the fathers unless they're in prison (which they frequently are). There's no reason to think the single fathers would do any better than the single mothers at taking care of the kids, and a lot of reason to think they'd do worse.

Personally, I think single mothers who can't make ends meet should be advised to enter into arrangements with other single mothers, whereby two or three mothers would share a home, with one staying home taking care of the kids and the other(s) working. If it hadn't been for the welfare handouts, they'd have probably figured this out for themselves by now.
