Here's how welfare programs persist the cycle of poverty: A. Having kids entitles you to government programs which give you money, free housing, and medical care B. The more kids you have, the more money and benefits you receive C. Earning too much disqualifies you from benefits
These programs encourage: 1. People to have too many kids 2. People to have kids outside of marriage to avoid their incomes combining to disqualify them from benefits 3. People to earn money under-the-table, oftentimes in the drug trade.
The end result is unwanted children raised by single mothers in crime-ridden neighborhoods. The kids get raised in this terrible environment and then we incarcerate them in response to crimes they commit, reducing their ability to provide for themselves. And the cycle repeats.
Nailed it. Perverse incentives on so, so many levels.
