No. But should we incentivize poor women to have children by paying them monthly based on the number of kids they have?
It’s a difficult problem as I’m sure you’ll agree. With the limited contact I have had with the aid programs, the assistance no longer increments after a certain number of children. Not sure about food stamps or WIC, but a welfare family I know (I am a legal guardian) found that additional children after I think the second did not increase benefits (this may vary by state and I may be wrong on the limit of “2”). It is hell to look up these things on the state website so I’m not going to try.
