My guess is that there is a lot of multiplying among the welfare state. They don’t give a damn about income thanks to the RATs.
I have seen maybe 2-3 young babies in stores with both parents. Now when I see young kids who are older, but; still small enough to fit in the grocery cart top basket with their face looking towards the adult pushing it, I have almost always ended up talking to granny who is taking the kid with her that day. It seems that many men 35 and younger are living with their parents. A young man I spoke to who works at Lowes told me women his age will not date him as they want a dead beat to move in or just come around as they do not want any income reported for the household.
