In today’s legal environment, a wariness of marriage is only sane risk management.

P. S., I’m long term happily married, myself. But, I know many who tried but didn’t manage that.

A huge part of the problem in this country is that billions of dollars are taken from potential productive use and put into things like figuring out how govt should mess with marriage.

I bet every name mentioned in this story makes mid-six figures.

“Almost 60 percent of Americans have a high-school degree but not a college degree.”

Wait a minute. So he’s saying that 40% of Americans have a college degree? So, to allow for dropouts, 50% or so of the high school kids graduating this year are going to college?

We’d have to have half as many colleges as we do high schools?

Something sounds wrong with that number.

I just found a site that takes you to census results and it says that 30% have a degree. That’s more believable, but even it seems a little high.

Why would anyone want to marry a woman when they can stay single and live with her and she can collect all those benefits from the hard working taxpayers of America.

Democrat policy promotes the broken family. We don't penalize sperm donor dads and we give housing and food benefits to unwed mothers.

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, The National Parks Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals.

Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.

This ends todays lesson.

They could start with Honey Boo Boo’s parents...but then again, she might lose her benefits from the other three illegitimate kids she’s had with three other men, not to mention her grandchild. TLC’s hit show has been a real eye-opener for me about the real America, and I fear it is too late to bring back the desirability of marriage, church-affiliation, and the “shame” of being on the dole.

“If the nation takes the right cultural and policy steps, we can renew marriage in Middle America.”

That’s code for big government. No thanks. Sell that drek someplace else.
