You obviously missed the foundation upon which her conclusions are based: "It is an ironclad law of economics that if you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it.

By the way, don't forget the advent of the pill and abortion on demand when reviewing the period. It does not say much of anything about Iraq, except to say that Democrats are much more patient when it is something they have sponsored. There is a lot of evidence that disassociating welfare from educational, training, or work requirements, and making it more lucrative, in many instances, than marriage in the ghetto, contributed to much of the boost in illegitimacy. Girls were having babies to get their own apartments, and having more to increase their checks. I did not say that Democrats were evil. It was the law of unintended consequences, together with the economic law that you get more of what you subsidize, as Coulter remarks........
