"Is your business in the right hands?"
You can't make this stuff up...
Actually, I'm pretty sure that one IS made up.

As tster mentioned, one of the consequences of welfare as it was begun in the 1960s was that it was encouraging more women to have children to increase their welfare payments, which simply reduced their independence, and increased their dependence on the government.All that means is the amounts were set wrong. The welfare payments for having children should match the amount it costs to raise those children. If it's more, you get the problem you describe. If it's less, you get babies living in poverty.
But even if you exactly match the cost of raising the child, both problems will still often occur: parents skim from the payments for themselves, while leaving the children in poverty.
