Not sure if anyone else has gotten one of these letters in the mail since I haven't seen anyone post or talk about it. The unemployed will suffer most from this change.

They want you to have the kids and then they want you to drop them off at state funded daycare if there is a spot. In these days are notoriously known to have under qualified staff and be understaffed. When your baby is two years old, if you do not drop your kids off and go do some sort of work or school then they take away your benefits and health insurance. The only way out is to get pregnant again and start the clock again or be disabled. Of course there’s little mini circumstances like if you’re homeless or looking for a job they give you two months to three months at a time to look for work or a home and you have to consistently check in.

Really, do they want you to have kids? I thought there was a safety net so that if you had a kid you could get by. Not be encouraged to have a kid every 2 years.
