Living standards are better today than they've ever been, yet crime, depression, drug abuse etc are at all-time highs. Figures.
So because Republicans are wary of how the country spends its finite resources, and support building prisons to keep child abusers and criminals out of society, that means we don't care about children? No logic found. Please explain.
Perhaps you need to check some facts here. Crime is not at an all time high. It is in fact at a historical low.

As for Republicans being wary of how the country spends its finite resources, I call huge bull on that. If anything, it is Republicans who are always willing to spend our resources and make claims such as "well our world isn't overpopulated because everyone in the world could easily fit inside the state of Texas" (either forgetting or not aware of the fact that overpopulation has absolutely zilch to do with where people can physically fit in the world). If Republicans truly cared about finite resources, they wouldn't put the economy and more accurately greed over conservation of those finite resources, nor would they be so against abortion and birth control, with claims that people need to have more babies.
