Sounds crazy, sure. But it's the only way to stop the welfare state from expanding.

What if someone could afford the kids when they had them but lost their job or became disabled or sick? Do we punish them, too?

I for one will not rest until we've replaced the big dumb welfare state with a bigger, dumber police state!

Just stop subsidizing it by eliminating welfare and it will take care of itself.

It takes two people to bring children. in the world. It also takes a sane world to raise. them. Am not to sure we have either.

Mother can only have one child on welfare, the next one is on her. She can't afford it, too bad.

This has got to be someone's plan. Anyone with half a brain would realize that socialist programs basically pay stupid people to reproduce more than everyone else. I read earlier today that educated women were deciding not to have children because of the current economy, and that something like 500k children will not be born to them this year, as a result.

Isn't that the exact beginning of Idiocracy? And that guy had most of his movie funding yanked.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The president of America! Camachoooooooooooo!!!"

That movie is hilarious, until you realize that it really isn't. I think I'll eat some protein and go on down to the sperm bank.

I'll settle for when someone applies for welfare, their benefits with regards to children get locked in.

I agree and I have also said that.

That's not making it illegal for poor people to have kids though.

I think you should have to be sterilized in order to get welfare.

So to prevent more government spending, you are willing to impose more government? That sounds like a good idea!

What if I'm a millionaire - I get married and have 10 kids then some evil European crook steals all my bitcoins.

I agree.

You should have to post as bond the cost to raise a child through age 18 before you're allowed to have children. (about 250k) Then you are allowed to reduce the bond amount by 1/18 of the total amount per year.

If you want to have sex without posting the bond - you'll be required to use birth control and to purchase unplanned pregnancy insurance.
