These programs are not for those who decide, I want a baby! I want it now! I can't afford it so I'm going to force the taxpayers of California to pay for it. Screw them, I want I want I want.
State/federal assistance are not an alternative lifestyle, they are a last resort designed to be a band aid, not a permanent solution.

You were tactful.
But you missed my sarcasm.
In my sister's family's case, they thought it would be a help for a short time, but it has turned into a decade-long dependence. They thought they had good enough jobs to do well with a little family, they thought they were ready to start. But they were not ready for twins, and the children kept coming though they were using every birth control method available. They could not afford surgery. Finally after their fifth, the hospital that delivered her child offered to tie her tubes. She went for it.
