For some reason the blogger who writes this stuff likes to use the word "Libertarianism" over and over again, even though it has nothing to do with what he is saying.

Minor detail - libertarians don't believe in welfare payments except in the most extreme instances, and certainly not for unwed mothers.

Exactly. Libertarians I know would see that “almost $1T welfare” figure and immediately drop it from the budget as a no-brainer and call it “an excellent START.” While libertarians would say raising a child alone is the parent’s right, NONE would suggest the taxpayers pay for it.

In theory professional libertarians are against welfare, in reality they promote it through their actions. Open borders – a pathway to welfare. Encouraging youth to have sex knowing full well they can’t support themselves. Pretending that drugs don’t create dependent citizens. And so on.
