I was speaking about giving money directly to mothers. Often, a man and a woman have children together and then separate. The man may find a new spouse, and should he die, the children's mother will not receive the survivor benefits. They will go instead to the new spouse, even if the union has only lasted four years and they have never had children together. She may even already be receiving a pension from another spouse, which is funded to a large extent by other taxpayers. And all that is a result of simply having lived together as a couple. It could be given to those who had the children.
Some European countries have systems that work that way, including France, Germany and Sweden. I could also forward this information on to Ms. Cool.
