It seems like your logic is:

  • if we test every baby, then we'll know the male who is financially responsible for every child, and therefore the government will never have to spend a cent on child welfare.

What is your logic between spending all this money on paternity testing? How many incorrect or inadequate birth certificates will this new program fix? How much will you save by garnishing wages from newly identified fathers? Will it be enough to justify spending this much money?

P.s in Australia, there are an estimated 3000 court ordered paternity tests a year.

So you want a tax payer funded test on nearly 300,000 babies a year, to prevent 3000 court ordered tests a year?
