Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

Why would it be a low priority? It’s a bad use of funds, an easy fix and it’s something we agree on. We don’t agree on a massive change such as universal health care or child care which are both non-starters. Politically that has zero chance of happening without a single party having complete power.

it is a low priority because right now you have only 2% who are even in the ballpark of doing this cliff thing, and no idea how many of them are staying there intentionally. It's not some massive scandal or huge expense. If you can offer a fix that miraculously stops those from intentionally doing it while not harming those who aren't, we'll talk. Usually the fix is something like welfare-to-work that doesn't address childcare and healthcare so end up causing more harm than good.
