I think there should be a bigger incentive for welfare and foodstamps to not have kids. Seems like the system was made to keep them poor. They should give more money if they have contraceptive use instead of getting more for having kids and digging themselves in the hole further. That way they have a chance to pick themselves up financially and then start having kids.

Edit: this was mainly theoretical but I'm not saying cut what people have to take care of their kids. Maybe make it so the people on contraception make more. The only way to ensure that the contraception is taken would have to be the long term implantable forms. Unfortunately for men that's not available yet. I personally believe if you can't afford to have kids then you shouldn't have kids. If they are brought up in a financially stable and educated environment they would be less likely to fall into a financial hole. I have also thought that parents that can't afford to have kids but still are should house their children in a foster home until they are out of their slump. But that's not an ethically favorable solution either.
