WRONG. The "fail" is injecting tax money to reward that "failure" rather than doing anything to alter the situation. We KNOW that single parent "families" are a MAJOR part of the problem, yet they are the FIRST priority of our major "anti-poverty" programs; get married, especially to someone with a modest job, and your "help" dries up, leaving you WORSE OFF than before. Delay having that child and you delay getting "qualified" for most aid.
Instead of helping those that wish to ESCAPE the ghetto they are instead actually paid to stay there. To survive outside a city with free (or heavily subsidized) public transit requires an expensive car, yet I am aware of no program to help with that. Most social programs continue to subsidize failure and not to break the cycle of single parent "families", dropping out of school and simply remaining a parasite. Decisions have consequences, some are rewarded (out of wedlock childbirth) others are not, lacking transportation/job training in a rural area.
Much of our free public education does not make one able to get a decent job, but dropping out and starting a "family" pays MORE than finishing that highschool education and getting a McJob, that is insane. I would much rather help those that want to help themselves than to simply reward failure. I would START by making any and all public assistance depend on finishing highschool, performing some public service (or job training) and remaining reasonably sober.
