What is the alternative (besides marriage, etc.) then? American society can’t keep paying for welfare programs because deadbeats don’t feel like being responsible for their children.

There IS NO alternative to marriage.
First - marriage and children is a moral right. God hates divorce. But say you are immoral and you want to look at this from a social level. Fine, we move to..
Second. EVERY study shows that children do better in stable homes. With mom and dad. This is a fact. So why? Why does the government provide the incentives for divorce? Why do they legitimize illegitimacy and promote the welfate state?
The only morally and socially responsible way to fight the welfare state is to stay married and deny funding to welfare programs for single parents and junk like that.
“Why does the government provide the incentives for divorce? Why do they legitimize illegitimacy and promote the welfate state?”
Because we let them.
