Moses, we posted at the same time, my immediate reaction to your plan is "bring money."

Very expensive program you just designed. The county will have to first identify, then find, then pay the father a lot of $$$ to support himself and the mother and the kids. The county will likely hire him over someone more qualified. Is that fair? Father a child, abandon the child, get a government job?

And how do I get that guy to actually work? What if he does not show up? What if he shows up but is useless? Jail?

If we can't find the father, we hire the mother. More $$$. Then we pay for her kids to get care while she works. Then we of course hire her over other applicants, or fire someone to make room for her ...

Sorry, I don't know any of these answers, but I raise the questions to show how complex these things are. There's a hundred more issues I have not raised.

Ths biggest problem with political thought in America today, in my view, is that people actually believe they can solve everything with a 3 minute phone call to a radio talk show. Just rant about how easy it would be if the politicians were not so stupid, corrupt, etc. etc.
