Obviously, like you, I have no viable suggestion for the current problem. I just thought that you would.

Oh, I do have some suggestions:

1. NO applicaiton for any welfare program is even accepted until the biological father presents himself along with the mother, or at a minimum identified and as much information as possible collected on him.

2. No additional welfare for additional out-of-wedlock children.

3. Mandatory inclusion in workfare programs.

There are many disincentives that can be included, but the libs will fight them all.

I agree, those are great suggestions, but what about realistic solutions, ones that would have a chance of actually being enforced, regardless of the administration?

Do you really think Mitt would even suggest something like that?

What candidate, of any party, would not provide welfare for out-of-wedlock children...at least one that had any chance of being elected?

Many of the inner-city baby-daddies have no above-the-table wages that can be garnished. Many don't even use their real birth names in their day-to-day interactions, have no fixed address, and are transient from state to state. Being a gang-banger is a disincentive to having proper ID (which may be another reason why the Dems are so opposed to ID requirements to vote)
