Any questions?
Yes. The same question as before:
What do you propose is done about this?
You outlined the problem, but you didn't propose a solution.
And you also didn't explain how the problem is related to "Democrats, Liberals, Progressives".
.... just as I always have: Use my bully pulpit to educate folks like you.

Democrats created the problem:
1966 LBJ expanded the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program…under FDR, AFDC had been limited to widows, those who had lost their husbands and now lacked a breadwinner at home to help support the children.
Then began to loosen and expand the rules of AFDC eligibility, eventually getting to the point where any woman living alone with children could take advantage of this program. In doing so, they not only bought a large number of new votes, they also incentivized out of wedlock births and single motherhood.
As Charles Murray described in “Losing Ground,” the Great Society incentivized the same negative behaviors that cause poverty in the first place.
Millions of women discovered that they could be better off financially by not marrying.
And....I remain 100% accurate and correct....thanks for helping to prove it.
Any questions?
Yes. The same question as before:
What do YOU propose is done about this?
You outlined the problem and explained how the problem is related to the democrats, but you didn't propose a solution.
"What do YOU propose is done about this?"
Continue putting a burr under the saddle of donkeys like you.
Nothing. I don't see this issue as much of a problem as you. Therefore,
What do YOU propose is done about this?
I propose that cowards like you stop lying, and confront what your party has become....
....and start by admitting what a huge problem welfare, criminality and out of wedlock births are.
Can you do it?
