Doesn't that incentivize welfare babies? In the US, when welfare was reformed in the late 90's, all of the child benefits were excluded. Guess how people are still living off welfare in 2012?Originally Posted by econ21

Guess how people are still living off welfare in 2012?The Bishops were right - it makes no sense to budget, or cap, per household. There has to be an adjustment for household size. Excluding child benefit, which was never supposed to be means tested, is a sensible amendment.
