Visit your county public assistance office and look at their promotional brochures and posters. None of it is about getting off welfare.
For decades they have been pushing education, instead of welfare.
Offering incentives such as daycare for folks that want to go to school.
Cutting off welfare as soon as the youngest child hits 16.
Problem is that the "System" cannot instill responsibility.
That is up to the parents, and society.
When I was growing up (sometime during the last iceage) the words "Single Mother" was a badge of shame, not an opportunity to make free money.
Also, Men/Boys did not brag about how many babies they had spread about the neighborhood, they took care of their kids by getting married and working their ass off.
It scared the crap outta us, so much so that we avoided random and unprotected sex.
Their is a million ways to have sex without getting pregnant, only one surfire way to get pregnant.
