There are state sponsored child support programs of sorts, like wic and food stamps, of course child care tax credits.

It's not like you can just go to a welfare office and say "gimme some money I don't wanna work". Sure there are people who are frauds and manage to get some undeserved support from the government, but these aren't the people the programs are designed for and they are receiving support illegally.
you do not need to be mentally/physically handicapped to get a welfare check. and you pretty much can go in and ask for money. i know a friend who just went in to get food stamps, lied about everything, and bam, $250 a month for groceries, or near that. also, there are fucking pan handlers on every block of the exit intersections on highways here, and >90% of them seem perfectly capable of getting a job.
