"ORLANDO, Fla. -- A former employee of the Department of Revenue's Child Support Enforcement program was arrested Thursday on bribery charges." (Local6.Com "Child Support Worker Arrested In Bribery Scheme" March 8, 2007)
In the many States, Child Support Workers are funded through Title IV Part D of the Social Security Act if the State programs voluntarily comply with federal mandates on how to operate. In the beginning a program to help needy families, it has now turned into a free for all welfare spending program where the States focus on revenue generation instead of helping actual needy families.
Just last month another Child Support Worker embezzled a quarter of a million dollars in Child Support Enforcement money in California. See prior article.
Evidence is mounting against the Title IV-D Program, often coined "Child Support Enforcement," demonstrating several unintended outcomes, widespread abuse of authority, widespread taxpayer fraud, and widespread over-participation of middle and upper-class families in the programs.

It's time to reign in free for all welfare spending where over 45% of the participants in the Title IV-D welfare program are middle to upper-class families that should be paying for their own disputes not feuding on tax payer money. Shrink back the program for its intended beneficiaries and shave off nearly 30,000 government employees nationwide to help control taxpayer waste, fraud, and government sponsored criminal activity.
