Works for me.
Our government has managed to contort themselves in to the business of rewarding irresponsibility and everybody is shocked that this results in some people taking advantage of it. Additionally this garbage ends up developing a kind of momentum.
Now that your hypothetical couple is getting their check anyone attempting to adjust the amount or restrict its use will be labeled as an inhumane asshole who only wants to put more money in the pockets of the rich (somewhat true since "the rich" pay the majority of personal income taxes). Not only that, but how many of those hypothetical kids are going to grow up to have their own set of 25 kids they can't support?
The crappy parents certainly deserve some of the blame, though there are still too many people who would disagree with that too, but the government has some culpability as well.
