Default Re: Dead Beat Dad\'s-Government Inefficiency, or, why welfare isn\'t so

No, it would be cuel and unsual to make him responsible for the state's fees associated with making him pay...10 times the amount he owed.

And I don't think it would be a deterent either, (if the first cost they couldn't afford wasn't a deterent, why would 10 times it be one?), it would simply cause even more poor people to file for bankruptcy and be eternally destitue.
