So you're saying that if poor people want to eat, they have to promise not to reproduce.

What you are suggesting is a sort of reverse eugenics done under the guise of responsible social policy. No way anything like this will ever be allowed, nor should it.

People who are are poor and need social assistance most likely have a history of making bad decisions. We have to accept that people receiving public aid may use it inappropriately and the fact that they do doesn't mean the system doesn't provide a real benefit.

I would rather live in a country with a wasteful and bloated welfare system than in a country where the government forces a certain segment of the population to not procreate.

Giving up a basic human right in order to save a few tax dollars is a lousy deal.
