Okay so the main argument here seems to be that we should pay generously for welfare of single moms with many kids because otherwise those kids will be criminals or... something. Except children raised by single moms are already disproportionately more likely to commit crime than those raised by 2 married parents. So it's almost like a protection racket where your store still gets its windows smashed eventually. After you already paid the shakedown. Fuck that shit.

No, the long-term solution is to discourage these irresponsible breeding patterns where one unmarried person has multiple kids that their incomes and/or marital status couldn't possibly afford. There is no way a person can get into that position without gross irresponsibility. It means that you picked the absolute most degenerate men to date (bums, people who can't commit to a relationship etc.) and repeatedly had unprotected sex over many years which shows extremely poor judgment. There is no other way to get 8 kids, out of marriage, and unable to take care of them.

If you want to have 8 kids (there are people who do legitimately) then you should be married and you should be earning at least a 6 figure a year. Some couples do that, I have nothing against them. In fact, if they're Trump level rich they can have 80 kids for all I care.

If you can't be responsible then maybe you're not fit legally to be a parent and another couple should be allowed to adopt them instead of the taxpayer having to pay for your repeated mistakes.

The taxpayer is not your substitute husband. Or wife for that matter, single dads. (Not as common but the laws should be neutral on sex.) Stop fucking shit up.
