The guy who used to sit at the head of the table at dinnertime has been replaced by a government check.
That guy's daughter has become a welfare 'ho giving birth to a gaggle of kids that hit the streets, doing drugs, robbing and killing.
Great Society my Clinton!
This is precisely where our country has derailed, and what liberal socialists depend on for power.
Like a scene out of Independence Day”, liberal fascism has positioned itself over our country like the pall of death. It is the final confluence of decades of public education brain-washing, welfare programs and socialist ideology. And, here we sit waiting for an alien invasion from either Hitlery or Obeyme - each of whom is posturing to launch an all out assault on America.
I know this only talks about tax dollars, but what is the overall effect on the economy?
I work with some one who is recently divorced. She had to take off a lot of time for lawyers meetings, depositions, court dates, not to mention the personal time used during the day to make phone calls, fax things, etc.
There were no minor children involved in this case. How much productive time is lost dealing with all this stuff? And when there are children I understand it can go on for years.
I do not mean to advocate simpler divorce, but another measure that demonstrates the negative effect of a divorce on everyone.
Our state has some deal where disaffected underage teens can decide they wish to become “emancipated” and leave home and then the state whips in and supports them.
I don’t really understand how this works, but I know it worked that way for a pregnant teen. She was supplied with an appartment, a vehicle, schooling and babysitting. All this was while she had a home with two parents available.
Nice to see Dr. Baskerville weighing in on this issue, as Carey Roberts recently did.
Just too bad Baskerville - like Roberts - is part of the problem, not the solution.
How? I notice Baskerville also discounts the pro-marriage initiatives that the IAV calls for. And this is typical of all these Fathers Rights guys. Including yourself.
I've read this thread. And your replies that complain how Reagan and his conservative followers have redefined marriage to the sorry state it is now in, and I call BS on this. I'd call it something else, but Jim Robinson frowns on stronger language.
Back to how the F/R guys are part of the problem: I don't care if somehow all their wildest dreams came true and 50/50 parenting became law, and court ordered child support payments were abolished. They would still be divorced parents and so therefore responsible for this $112 billion.
Furthermore, you guys with your advice NOT to get married in the first place are also a direct and leading contributor to this $112 billion boon-doggle that taxpayers are facing.
In short: You are to blame.
