The fathers should have continuous financial responsibility (as would mothers if roles are reversed which they are at times).Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15768887.post-57075343188417189542008-08-11T16:21:00.000+12:002008-08-11T16:21:00.000+12:00How about one point plan:* DPB is abolishedor even...How about one point plan:<BR/><BR/>* DPB is abolished<BR/><BR/>or even better, a two-point plan.<BR/><BR/>* DPB is abolished<BR/>* the <B>Net Present Value</B> of all moneys received via the DPB, Dole, Student allowance, Student Loan, or any other benefit <B>are immediately repayable</B><BR/><BR/>best thing about this plan is a) it's a civil debt, and b) failure to repay is a criminal offence.
