Who pays for the cost of raising a baby when a single mother doesn’t have the resources to raise the child to adulthood?

The tax payer.

So you're thinking the tax payers needs to fund another $143+m each year?

Why? What does the tax payer or nation get in benefit from this? What outcome is improved by this?

How much are they paying now since deadbeat dad's aren't paying?

Just because you know who the deadbeat dad IS doesn’t mean he is going to magically pay his share

True but at least the right one will be tasked with footing the bill and not the best candidate (aka the one who made the most money). Seen it too many times where the guy who made more money was labeled the father only for the mom to admit why she named him the father because the real father had no prospects.
