Think of it as a government loan. Every child born in this country is used as collateral for government borrowing. They base that collateral on the child growing up and being a long term tax payer. If people stopped having children because they couldn't personally afford them without a bit of help the future economy would fail because there wouldn't be enough people.
Oh I'd be willing to help people who are working and not earning much, but it's the ones who just keep having babies as a means of living off the state that I object to.
