You may be right, but I am more interested in whether the stats are accurate. I don't know how we can tell that from either organization we cited as to whether the data is/was clean. I do think the US Government ought to try and determine the extent to which welfare is either working or not working ( using criteria such as do welfare kids graduate from HS with the ability to function in our economy or go on to college, how many of the females kids end up as welfare mothers and so on) because if it is not working we need to fix it, change it, or do away with it until we find something that works. I don't care what side of the aisle people are on politically they need to come together and evaluate the effects of a growing welfare population. Second, if people have enough money to raise their child by themselves I say go ahead. I am only interested in the people that don't and need welfare to get there. Third, even though you are right about single family households becoming the norm a lot of them are not raising kids and additionally not on welfare so I don't think that stat is applicable to this debate.
