Perhaps it’s time to suspend the Obama Regime? Deem it to be Null & Void?
Works for me.
One man's (?) release of a torrent, is another man's nibble about the edges. Obama, the One who challenged the depths of the oceans and the heights of the heavens as he stood among the pillars and multitudes of the earth is now reduced to tweeting pictures of his pen. It is not easy to describe the depths to which he has fallen. "Unleashing a torrent" doesn't do it.
Again, who will stop him? The courts? He owns them. The Republican Party? They are in cahoots with him. Will the people rise up and say, Enough? As long as he doesn’t mess with Monday Night Football he is safe from that. Plus, in two National elections, the people have said, via their votes, enslave us, make us your slaves, make us secure. To hell with freedom.
I see where you're coming from -- but it can easily lead to bias against large families.
I come from such a family, we didn't starve and weren't medically neglected or anything, but there are a lot of people who might be inclined under a law like you propose to call my parents lawbreakers.
I don't equate having a large family with parents who have no means to adequately care for their children. Kids don't have to have everything that comes down the pike and some, I'm sure, are spoiled rotten.
Aside from that, we do want our children to "fit in" in some measure with their peers. It can be tough for many parents.
Designer jeans, the latest smart phone, Ivy League school, a high school graduation trip to Florida, etc. They really don't NEED any one of those things---they need to be taught a value system early on, including becoming educated. One of my cousins had 18 living children (two others died at birth). Other than two I've heard of who have had some problems, they've all done just fine. Were they wealthy? No! But they did their job.
I still believe those who can't support a child are morally responsible not to bring a baby into the world.
I'm not debating that…

You might not, but can you say that the government will not? Moreover, once they start defining "adequate care" they can set it so that there is nothing that is, realistically speaking, adequate. — It could be in this way that children become the property/wards of the state… this is something that the Statists desperately wants, it is why they dislike homeschooling.
All I can say is “What a scary world we now have.”
