Santorum has linked the state of the economy with the state of the family today and there are numbers to back him up.
yes - that is what I find very refreshing about him.
We have seen it in the schools - public and private.
When the families collapse - the children suffer.
All subsequent problems that arise get blamed on anything other than the original problem - the collapse of the family.
It isn’t the “only” problem out there by any means...but it certainly is the biggest problem.
And when the family stops functioning - the government steps into the household.
We now have multi-generational government/dependents who seem to have no concept whatsoever as to how to function as a rational competent adult.
Santorum is not my first choice - but I applauded when I heard him say that. He is absolutely spot on about the state of the family today. It is the CORE of our problems - crime, unemployement, welfare, drugs - you name it - the dissolution of the family unit is behind a great deal of it.
