And how do you feel about this?

Some states still have the practice of providing $x.xx per child for assistance. However, they are putting a stop to it - and so they should. Since the average taxpayer has no say in how many children the person who can't afford to support them has, they should be able to at least limit how much they can be taxed for their support.

Social Security payments, low-cost food via WIC, EITC, etc.
Honestly, some of those programs should be scaled back--if you cannot afford to have a child then don't have a child (or at least put it up for adoption).

There's a tax deduction for each child, but it doesn't begin to cover the cost. There are also tax deductions for homeownership, which grows as your house does. There's a little assistance for poor people with children, but it's barely enough to survive on. I'd say they don't do much, and I wsih they'd do more.

Are you speaking of families that can afford their children or families that are on welfare???
Those are completely different topics...

The breeding of the welfare and low income groups has been out of control for decades!!! Welfare begets welfare
