And on the welfare state, regarding black women trending with more and more babies out of wedlock, (as with all other races)....
Although I have not seen specific demographics, or studies regarding this, my gut would say that something more than women having the liberty, and acceptance that they once did not have, is making these statistics of out of wedlock babies go higher that could be involved with welfare.
And of course, as a woman, I will defend these women who continue to have babies....I don't think it is because they are getting the limited amount of welfare benefits that most of them are getting...and having another child gives them more and more money....because there is a cutoff of the number of children written in to federal law that no longer pays more for more children, at least from my novice understanding of the law??? ....but because the Fathers of these children, are not coming through, are not having to do what they should do, as the Fathers of these children, and that is, provide for them...give them a life that is even better than their own, a future, a reason to live and strive for better, and want this for their own children, for goodness sakes....to me THAT'S the problem....the men feeling the government will just take care of their children...and walking away from his own flesh and blood family....
so maybe, if I am right...welfare does have something to do with the abandonment of the Father figure.
(black women have ALWAYS bore more children than white women as an example....can't ever remember a time when they did not, even when they were predominantly married families)
yes, abandonment of the Father figure, primarily in the black community, but not exclusively the black community.
but I don't know how to fix it, without harming the children that are born impoverished....so for now, it is the status quo for me....I accept paying welfare to those impoverished with my taxes, until we can come up with a better idea that does not harm people/children, more than help them....I wish we all could come up with a better idea...like putting these fathers to work, in a job that they were given the skills to do, that would give them higher income, so that they wouldn't be so afraid to take on the responsibility of being Fathers....
and also, imo, austerity for these women who need welfare to help feed their children, might lead to even MORE ABORTIONS as a result, and this is not my goal...I don't want to see even more abortions....nor should anyone.
What if you have people in the Administration literally advertizing for able-bodied folks to take advantage of the system.
What if they're pulling in hundreds of thousands of refugees from other countries only to down the road garner their votes. Offer them welfare and telling them who to vote for.
