I'm sorry but that just isn't true.  It might be a goal or even required but it isn't happening.  I personally know half a dozen people who have out of wedlock kids where the mother is on welfare and the father is not on the birth certificate and pays no money to support his child.  If they aren't on the birth certificate the state pays for health care, cash assistance, food stamps, counseling, babysitting (while the mother "attends" classes), etc.  It is a huge expense that taxpayers pay while the dad lives with the baby momma and his baby.  The state has never required any restitution from the father.  Why would the job have to take away from a government worker instead of supplement it?  Like cleaning up a park or picking up litter or cutting grass, are our government workers so unionized they can't use free help?
