Tree-hugging hippie, here. The majority of people don't abuse the system, and one or two anecdotal instances is not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'm not overly fond of people having families they can't afford, but until they implement mandatory Depo until people can pass parenting tests and prove they can afford children, we're going to have to realize that other people's choices are not always the ones we might make, and do the best we can to get along and not punish children for their parents' stupidity.
