Because enforcement is the root of the problem. The fed is over involved now because 20 years ago a deadbeat dad could walk away from his child support obligation and face no repercussion. The only possible way to get rid of the current bad fix is to have a better fix to put in his place. But it seems absolutely no one on the fathers' side of the debate is willing to do this, or even listen to proposals. This thread is a classic example of what's going on in this area of social debate. There have been 3 responses to my post where I laid out a possible solution that I think could make both sides happy and not one of them has even mentioned it.

I have to tell you that I'm leaning the same way as William Terrell in post #108. Your statement suggests that you haven't read any of my posts, even though I've taken the time to give longer more detailed explations.

I'm going to assume just a short bit longer that you might be young and there are a few things you haven't figured out yet, and you have some personal "issues" to deal with. But I don't know yet how much longer.

A couple of comments on your 100% rule. What are you willing to give up personally to make that happen? Would you be willing to spend the rest of your life in a forced labor camp, under maximum control (whatever that is and whatever it takes) along with everyone else in the world, to assure that nobody would break the rules? With everyone subjugated in such a camp, who would run it, who would enforce the rules? And secondly, don't you just want your situation fixed? 100% doesn't really matter does it?

Tech. note: maximum verses optimum (look it up)
