The government doesn't solve problems. It creates programs to reduce the impact of problems, but the problems never go away.

True. These problems usually get worse. Thanks government!

If we just cut welfare for single moms... we'd have a lot more poverty and hungry kids. We wouldn't have less single moms. These single moms aren't thinking about lack of welfare access when they spread their legs after a night at the club.

Nonsense. If there were negative ramifications for having children out of wedlock, people would eventually change their behavior. Many of the folks that don't care about being responsible adults through careful family planning are brought up in communities that see having more kids as a pathway to more government handouts. Why wouldn't they? They've been taught this path over and over as generation after generation is raised to be reliant on gov't handouts.

We need to as a society, really push not getting knocked up in the first place. Really push contraception use.

On this, we agree.
