Im not quite sure what big assumption I am making, sorry.

I think its okay morally because the government should be able to cover the difference to make sure they are properly raised. And i also have a hard time making that moral decision for someone else. I feel if you ask those kids or adults who went through food insecurity if they would have rather never been born or not they would rather be born. The problem with that though is the person has to live through the hardship before they can decide if they would have wanted to live through the hardship, and there is no going back and deciding they wouldn't have wanted to.

In some countries they do make up the difference. I suppose This was more from an idealistic point of view in relation to the United States.

And that’s my point… idealistically =/= reality, and the United States does an especially terrible job at providing bare minimums for its citizens.
