Quote:So it is the idea that welfare has led to broken homes? Because that seems a little silly. Clearly the evidence shows the 1 parent homes are more likely to be under the poverty line and is a huge problem in our country. How does eliminating welfare programs keep couples together?

 

It's the broken egg situation, you can't just eliminate them now that we've instituted them. However there's an argument to be made families where far less likely to break up when it was almost mandatory of them to remain together for financial stability. 

 

It's a complicated issue but the State has replaced the Father as head of the house, that is really the core issue. It sounds radical, it sounds ridiculous, it even sounds paranoid but I really believe that the purpose of welfare was to create a permanent underclass and quotes from the creators like LBJ reaffirm that belief.
