I have met women whose goal in life is to become a single mother, with the government as the breadwinner. (And then to have more children, since pay-out rises in proportion to number of children, and "being thrifty" can leave money free per-child, so the more children you have, the more money you keep.)

If "welfare mom" was an insult, it would probably refer to that.

In which nation does the pay-out rise in proportion to the number of children? It must be a massive payout, since in countries like the UK and the US it costs far more to maintain a child than the welfare payment granted.
