Today’s feral street ape owes much of his existence to LBJ’s ‘Great Society’, where central planning’s intended cure made conditions dramaticaly worse. Liberalism, if it is anything at all, is the shabby notion that you can collectively make life fair, while willfully ignoring the unintended consequences of economic and social mayhem.
It was never intended to be a cure. It was bread and circuses while the Communitst broke the black (and indeed, even poor white) family down. Government has been breaking down families since the 1870s, and has honed the process over time.
It rendered most American Indian Tribes ineffective insofar as presenting any resistance, hasn't done much better for urban and rural poor blacks, and it's coming to a neighborhood near you (Obamacare, Social Services, mandated school lunch programs, etc.)
Family already takes back seat to Social Services, even when family members want to step in and take care of a child in a problem situation. If there isn't a problem, Social Services will invent one.
