I think any person after a third child who cannot provide for those children should have diminished governmental aid. We should begin to establish disincentives for lack of responsibility. In this case if her boyfriend was truly supporting his 10 children by work then of course there should be emergency shelters which can provide a place where a family can go. After the third child, a parent must risk lost benefits and a clear communication that benefits will no longer be paid directly to a parent, rather they will need to move to a shelter where the rules will be followed, and if a parent fails to care for their children, the parental rights will be terminated.
The welfare reforms of the 90s which Newt promoted were not done to punish families, but to give disincentive to the status quo. It is time to provide disincentives. The children must be protected, and certainly a parent who is thinking pennies from heaven are going to feed her children would be more responsible simply abandoning those children than to pretend she is a parent.

I disagree. One of those precious children could be the one who cures cancer. The probability of that happening becomes incredibly less likely as systemic damage to children is allowed by bad parenting and forced poverty and neglect. This really is a simple subject to address. It does not have racial overtones. I have seen families which are irresponsible of every race and ethnicity. When I lived in Mexico, I lived with a family of seven who scrapped and worked to survive. When we create a system of rewards, and those rewards harm children.......well it does not take a rocket scientist to adapt our system. It is time to correct obvious problems, but to generalize that all black people who were freed are going to destroy this nation, is simply putting the problem in a racial context which is not necessary. Stupid policy is color blind. Correcting stupid policy should also be color blind.
