I don't know how we stop the cultural decay either. There are some things that we can do.

Remove any remaining marriage penalties and put in marriage incentives.
Pass the presumption of equal custody laws in all 50 states and reduce the financial incentive to divorce.
Reinstate charitable giving as a stand alone tax deduction.
Get the economy going so that there are jobs for those that do want to work.
Run interventions on those that don't.
As Trump says, they need "spirit" and you build that through "cheerleading".

No offense, but it’s no wonder it’s all going to Hell in a hand-basket!

Instead of starting at the beginning, most ‘debates’/conversations/etc. start at the WRONG premise!

Pre-welfare and ‘War on Poverty’ (TM), this was NOT a problem. So, instead of removing these illegal and unconstitutional acts/programs/etc. people start shouting off ‘just bolt XYZ...’, or ‘...how ‘bout “this”? or THIS? or...’.

No, let’s tack on a few more reams of paper to the tax code, to give (by FORCE) taxpayer funds to those GOVT believes ‘deserving’ (aka will vote for their party)...NOBODY even BLINKS to think how each and EVERY step of that process (and more) violates 4+ Amendments ALREADY!?!?

KILL welfare. KILL property taxes. KILL the DoE+. KILL the unions. Make EACH AND EVERY PARENT PAY for the education of their own brood.

Truant? I could give a F*; that means mom/dad is paying for an empty chair and, at the least, the goober isn’t impeding the education of the ‘REAL’ students.

/rant off (sorry)
