I hear this when I read the above.. "Increase CS payments!"

They're already poor. How would they afford more debt, er..... excuse
me, obligation?

Sounds rather sexist to me (but I am not suprised and pandering for the
female block vote). What about "moms" that don't support their children?

Perpetuating the "deadbeat dad" myth disgusts me.

It's just standard party bs. They don't care if anyone (read: NCP) can
"afford more debt", they just want to make more criminals to chase after.
Thereby justifying all the new laws - by claiming more and more deadbeats
are running around the countryside doing damage to families by not being
able to pay their debt, er.. obligation, to angry x-spouses (let's face it,
what child "needs" $? What they really need are their parents love, care,
time and attention - but that's not what politicians see...).
