Children growing up in single-parent households are nearly five times more likely to depend on welfare payments, a study revealed Wednesday.

Germany’s 2.3 million children being raised in single-parent households are disproportionately at risk of poverty.

A study done by the Bertelsmann Foundation said that more than a third of single-parent families (37.6 percent) were dependent on Hartz IV social benefits. Only 7.6 percent of two-parent households are dependent on the payments. […]

One in five families in Germany are single-parent households. …

The primary beneficiaries of a socialist program are the socialist politicians. The secondary are the bureaucracies, and tertiaries are the supposed recipients. Everything after is fluff.

I wonder what the rates are in the US? My sense, when you include BS hand out programs like the earned income credit, aid to dependent children, WIC, along with welfare the rates would approach 75%.

Well obviously, if you let people who are incapable of supporting a child or children to have charge of those children, you will have socialism.

That’s the whole point of the switch to single mother custody as a social policy in the interwar period.

This isn’t about single-motherhood. This is simply a matter of unconstitutional actions, mainly: THEFT.

If the 4th/5th/13th WERE followed, we’d not have have the issues we have today. Be that welfare(fraud), Crony Capitalism, illegal immigration, low-savings/wages, etc.

Germany, and Europe, never followed the actions of the early U.S. as it out-grew the Old World in every aspect. Let their Socialism smother ‘em...as they deserve for their insanity (following the same plans of the past).

Just shows what a lousy, high risk choice it is to have children out of wedlock - or to end a marriage when there are children involved.

You must wonder what percentage of these welfare recipients are 100% descended from German or other native European ancestry.
