- Hmmm. I'm pretty sure that I've not proposed any "legislative solutions"
- to the problem of child support. I think that the laws as they stand
- are pretty close. I agree that the implementation of the laws is often
- unfair, but the that requires executive (or judicial? what a mess!)
- solutions, rather than legislative. We need the appointment of judges
- that are free from gender bias, and social service agencies that are
- gender-blind. I don't see that more legislation would solve the
- problem!
-
- One exception: I do agree with the proposal for more accountability
- in how child support is spent (or saved for college, etc.)
- However, I am not so naive as to think that that will solve "the problem".
