I think that they would not necessarily go down. They might go up. If much of the working poor no longer had to desperately work multiple Mcjobs just to feed their kids they might take fewer of them (especially the particularly miserable ones) and spend more time at home.

There really is no way to know the ultimate results without trying it. Lots of us are starting to think it's worth a try. We've tried worse.
