The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States. ---Daniel Patrick Moynihan

And he was a Democrat!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

In the 1950s/early 60s, Moynihan worked for the Department of Labor in Washington, DC. One of his employees was odd fellow named Ralph Nader.

One day, Nader entered Moynihan’s office and whispered, “Our phones are tapped; someone is listening in to our phone calls.”

Moynihan’s response was classic. “Don’t worry about it...nothing we do here is all that importaint, anyway.”
