Why, when the country (and the world) is overpopulated are we, the tax payers, paying people to have kids? Especially when people are the biggest cause of pollution on the planet.
I say stop all forms of child support, make parents pay for schooling, hospital visits, doctors, etc, stop these little bastards sponging off the state.
In fact, instead of paying people to have kids we should be paying people to be sterilised.
