Why do you want to keep proceeding with this failure? The erudite done slipped offen you, I see... Just another right-wing bozo finally poking thru.. ..unable to divorce preconceived notions from reality ...a mindset most aptly described by science fiction writer H P Lovecraft.....in the '30's.. ....obviously, things haven't changed much.... "As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'…) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead." Letter to C.L. Moore (August 1936), quoted in "H.P. Lovecraft, a Life" by S.T. Joshi, p. 574 en.wikiquote.org

The effect of welfare on both black and white single parents is that children are being raised, for the most part, in an impoverished environment that doesn't nurture the cultural skills necessary for economic success. I agree. So what is your solution? Why do you want to keep proceeding with this failure? I want to keep proceeding. And do it in the same way that Bush did with the war in Iraq when he saw that he was failing in Iraq. He dumped more money into it by way of "the Surge". He found creative ways to overcome defeat or shall we say failure to achieve the objectives. Now, can you think of a similar move we can do on this issue of welfare, projects etc., where objectives are not being met Come on BUTW, I suggested how to address this in some of my earlier posts and you did not respond. I took that to mean either agreed with my suggestions or you deliberately ignored it. It seems to me that you ignored it and now came back with the same opinions.
