Honestly, I have no problem putting limits on people that receive welfare, but if you want to have 14 kids and take care of them all yourself, go right ahead and do it.

How would you propose doing that? Some program where the government would offer to pay to have your bits and pieces' reproductive abilities disabled? I suppose it would be okay if it was offered and not obligatory. But I'd be very uncomfortable with the government telling women they must get their tubes tied to continue receive welfare.

What I'd probably do is just cut off welfare instead of increasing payments the more children you have. If you have more kids after you go on welfare, you wouldn't get more money (the current system pays a certain amount per child). That way the woman can continue to have kids, but it doesn't drain the economy. "Octomom" is a prime example of a broken system.
