> a single mother with 3 kids has to make do with $10,000 a year?

Actually, under Murray's proposal, she has to make do with 10k per year plus whatever she can earn. If she's earning very, then she's probably doing all the childcare herself and her living costs are not much more than a single, childless woman. If she works full time, then her total income (earned and unearned) will be 30k at minimum.

I'm not saying I support the proposal, but I do think your rhetorical question mischaracterizes it.
