More hypocrisy from the Democrats...

If the Democrat party really were interested in helping poor, disadvantaged children, they would encourage a resurrection of traditional families consisting of the mother and father living together in matrimony.

According to Rich Lowry:

• The proportion of out-of-wedlock births rose 600 percent from 1960 to 2000, and the divorce rate more than doubled between 1965 and 1980.
  
• Roughly 24 million children now live in homes where the biological father is absent — about one out of every three children.
• Three-quarters of cohabiting parents split up before their children reach age 16.
  

Further, I've researched the stats myself and posted them here before about the percentage of families in poverty being directly proportional to the family structure. Single parent families are twice as likely to live in poverty. That is factual, assuming one is willing to rely upon Census data.

And after 50 years of failure, one cannot seriously argue that government handouts to "needy" mothers have had nearly enough overall positive impacts on the terrible crises facing our children today. Kids are less educated than ever, growing fatter than ever, more likely to commit crimes and to repeat the cycle of government dependence for their own children than ever before.

Can anyone seriously contest the claim that the American left encourages and thrives on government dependence via welfare programs and other socialist policies?
