Kimba....you hit the nail on the head. This has nothing to do with Republican'ts, and everything to do with rewarding bad decisions & judgement...using tax payer dollars. Single mom's should NOT be having children, if they can't afford to take care of themselves, much less an innocent child (and in even more reckless judgement, multiple children) brought into the mix.
Before the 1960's, most Black children were raised in 2 parent homes, nor is this unique to blacks alone. The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits every year since 1994. When Government brought forth the "Welfare state", with the greatest of "intentions", what the GOVERNMENT, and those politicians that pushed it, was to set the stage for an epidemic of poor moral decisions, most often leading to more and more births out of wedlock, and more and more "need" for Government assistance. Which of course, was largely the goal of the "Welfare state"
You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization -- including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain -- without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.
Non-judgmental subsidies of counterproductive lifestyles are treating people as if they were livestock, to be fed and tended by others in a welfare state -- and yet expecting them to develop as human beings have developed when facing the challenges of life themselves.
Behavior matters and facts matter, more than the prevailing social visions or political empires built on those visions.
