And have people been asking this question for thousands of years? I think so.

Poor people have always made babies.

The problem now is babies are expensive if you have money and a source of income if you are poor.

Because poor people, by definition, are not a group of people with a demonstrated skill for decision making.

As such, a poor person actually thinks the welfare increase from the additional child is a net positive.

They are poor, they know the system isn’t punitive, cause they are poor. Think about that for a minute....

I don’t know but here is a good one from CBS

White Americans got their stimulus checks more promptly than Blacks and Hispanics

God's first command in the Bible:
Be fruitful & multiply...

+ It's fun and if you are poor, it's probably the best thing you can do that is free.

because for the last 80 years, working people have been paying for them.
And the middle man/woman/parents, gets to scrape something aside for themselves.

Poor decision making along with a lack of foresight. It's partly why being poor is negatively correlated with IQ and number of children. It's all connected.

Well now we subsidize it and other bad decisions so they've got an incentive to shite out as many kids as they can

Idiocracy covered this pretty succinctly.

I was also thinking about it this morning I was reading the money board. Guy on there was complaining he makes too much money to qualify for child tax credits. Meanwhile I feel I don't make enough to support kids, but no tax breaks for me.
