I am 75 years old. I remember LBJ’s War on Poverty quite well. I also remember Moynihan’s 1965 report, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, that provided the disclosure that the Negro out of wedlock birth rate was a horrifying 25%!!!

The welfare state has made things far worse along with other factors such as an education system that fails to inculcate moral values, a decline of religion coupled with a rise in atheism, and the loss of shame in a society that tolerates immorality. This is not just an American problem. It exists throughout the Western world, which is in decline.

Yeah ... and now it's around 75%. That "war on poverty" sure worked wonders, didn't it?

It exists throughout the Western world, which is in decline.

And just coincidentally, the entire Western world has adopted the socialist welfare state.

Huh.

Go figure.
