It also doesn't exactly work when it's applied to single mothers who are deliberately grifting the system and spitting out multiple kids from multiple fathers.

Mind you, I don't think some safety nets for earnest single parents who might need a helping hand is an entirely bad thing. (Factoring in widows here too, whether it be a single father or a single mother).

But there have to be some solid limits on how those government signed benefits can be stacked up.
