> It would be better and more efficient for a nation as a whole to take care of its children

What exactly do you mean by that? State raising children? No families? That sounds dystopian to me.

That’s an interesting jump to make. I’ve never heard any one say that’s the way to go. You’d have to have a 99.99% extremist view to be serious about no families.

They likely mean what is the more obvious assumption. We take taking care of all children as a serious problem and try to have certain benefits happen for all children. IE they shouldn’t be going hungry or not going to school.
