What's the madness? It is none of your business if someone else has "enough" or "too many" or why not "too few" kids. The only real issue is government benefits - so simply cap them at some point - average family size, some percentage of average income - so that like anyone else if you had more children you would have to learn to adapt - pick a way.

Giving government benefits is a public policy decision - but having children is not the government's business. If you want have 10, but, the benefits should not be expected to grow with the number of children - private charity can fill that role if people desire to do give voluntarily.

So... let me get this right. People say it's fine for employers to drug test because you have a choice if you want to work there or not (I happen to agree with this). But they also say it's infringing on a right of some sort if you must test to be given money without working that was earned by those willing to test? Is this what I'm hearing? Both can't be right. Seems they should prohibit employers testing or do welfare testing too.

Where was it said it was infringing on their rights?

A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier and says,"watch out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."
Works every time.
