What I would like to talk to you about right now is why I had to go on welfare in the first place, because I did not have child support, I did not have health care, and right now out of the $47 billion that is owed in court-ordered child support every year, only $13 billion is collected. How do you propose that we collect that $34 billion that is the gap between what the States collect and what they are not collecting?
Discussing the challenges of child support collection and its impact on welfare.
