Background: This week Ohio's Butler County Child Support Enforcement Agency
launched a highly-publicized new campaign which puts mug shots of the
County's
"Most Wanted Deadbeat Parents" on pizza boxes. The idea was the brainchild
of Agency Executive Director Cynthia Brown. I debated Brown on FOX News'
nationally-syndicated Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Tuesday-to watch,

During my debate with Brown I pointed out that Federal Office of Child
Support Enforcement data shows that two-thirds of those behind on child
support nationwide earned poverty-level wages, and that less than four
percent of the national child support debt is owed by those earning $40,000
or more a year. I also pointed to the Top 10 Most Wanted 'Deadbeats' list on
the Butler County pizza boxes, and explained that none of the men on the
list have good jobs, and only a few of them earn even good working class
wages.
(For the record, the Top 10 list is comprised of three roofers, two
construction workers, a musician and four men with no known
occupations.)----
