Quote:Wait, so have we thought about what would be if there were no social programs in these areas?

Are we saying that with no social welfare and government spending the situation would be better?

Sorry, I just find this article to be lacking real thought...

The article is pointing out that the level of welfare starting in the 1960's, is a direct reflection of that state of many inner city "ghettos" (his word not mine). The State has replaced the Father, now you could argue that might have happened anyways but we didn't start seeing the exit of the two parent family until well after the establishment of the welfare state.
