Yes the government is providing the carrot, but no one is forcing people to be irresponsible. People are making this choice on their own and it is because we have given a pass to the irresponsible people. It is cool to father kids and skip out on them. It is cool to abandon your family for whatever reason. It is cool to give birth to a child when you are still in high school. It is cool to be on welfare. etc. There has been little effort on the part of society to same these irresponsible people other than some shaming of women because it is their fault they got pregnant, but no shaming of the other responsible party. The truth is that men, and to a lesser extent women, are not the men/women of the past. A lot of people in my generation, the baby boomers, are spoiled and selfish. Things and the next trill are what they are after. Being a grownup and being responsible is not a thrill. The downward spiral of society is accelerating.

The thing is, people are influenced by the culture they are raised in. And the culture has more effect, the less protection and guidance the family offers.

So now, the media, “entertainment” of all kinds, the government and this especially includes the public schools (add to that institutions of higher learning), are filled with toxic leftist garbage.

Even families who want to protect their children from this exceeedlingly malign influence are hard pressed, what to speak of idiots having children. It’s not just that simple - people need to be responsible. When many people are dirt ignorant, have been indoctrinated since birth, have no good examples in their lives to look up to - now what? How to stop the train?

The only way I can see is to put a total stop to all goverment welfare/benefits/HUD/Food stamps/AFDC/subsidies/etc etc. Just put the breaks on it all. Then, if people can’t find jobs to survive - and a lot won’t be able to, the economy being what it is, let private charities and organizations pick up the slack. Poor farms, orphanages, etc. Nothing’s perfect, but just about anything will be better than the rampant underclass fueled by illegitimacy happening now - all subsidized by government.
