Ye, family should be foundational. The breakdown of the family by Democrat policies has been harmful in so many ways.
Just like the Hispanic people do. They’re generally happier than crazy cat ladies
Of course it is-—However, these evil Marxists want to destroy the family unit so they can gain power easily.
meh. just because you have kids does not make you a great parent nor does it guarantee free nursing care when you get old.
“...an epidemic of loneliness...”
again with the feelings? (which are personal choices)
anyone who accepted Jesus and is living it out is never alone and should know that loneliness is a human temporary feeling resolved by getting back into relationship with God or find a church based group and get involved.
presto, no need to feel lonely, except by personal choice.
True. I know someone who is conservative, and a bit estranged from his liberal idiot kids. His daughter in law is an imbecile liberal. He worries about her being part of the group deciding what to do with him in his old age.
We are created to reproduce.
I have great sympathy for people who, for whatever reason, cannot find a mate of the opposite sex.
It is very sad.
Hollywood and Madison Avenue and the beauty industry have convinced too many people that they must have people for mates who meet their definition of beauty.
There was a lot of love found in homes where Bob married the neighbor girl from the family three farms down.
We built this country on that kind of love.
Those of us who are fruitful and multiply will have dominion
Yes I know not all of us have kids who are lock step patriots.
But, generally.
I have five kids. Four vote faithfully and one doesn’t vote so it’s net positive politically.
At the current birth rate the Amish will be in charge soon:

Which is better than the Lizard People!
The family is important and the foundation of society. BUT, making this your pitch in an election year is politically tone-deaf. This is not a priority of most people and gives the Dems an opening to turn the election into a cultural war that, sadly, the Republicans don’t have the political clout or skill to win.
Wrong move.
If you increase payments when the father is present in the home, the mother has every (economic) reason to see that he lives in the home and helps raise his children. An angry mom seeking the father will probably be more effective at locating the father than any gov't agency.
First off disenfranchise deadbeat dads. Then limit the franchise to persons over 21 with children or in military service. The Democrats will not need 4000 delegates partly because they won’t be able to find 4000 who actually qualify to vote. The eligible voters get one vote for every dollar they pay in taxes, encourage billionaires to pay taxes rather than buy elections. You don’t pay the piper you don’t get to call the tune. You pay lots of taxes then you get lots of say. If you are Hunter Biden and don’t support your kids or pay taxes you get no say at the polls. Basically the only people who should get a say on how the country is run and how taxes are spent are the ones who actually contribute to the commonwealth.
In a society where women can have your kids and then on a whim take everything you have to run off to some supposed new love,
Why would a guy want to marry and have kids? You have no rights and are expected to pay all the bills. my mother was married 4 times. I was the product of marriage #2. It took me till age 8 to get the hell away from her. It was finally settled legally by age 12 so I didn’t have to go back except for two weeks of hell each summer.
Age 12 was the only time the court listened to ME!
I don’t think much of the divorce laws in America, they suck!
Full disclosure; been married to the same woman for 47 years this month. One stepdaughter, no other kids, but we have helped raise quite a few of other peoples kids.
The ease of no-fault divorce has monetized the family court system against men who would otherwise welcome marriage and a stable family environment. And elected officials of all stripes have done nothing over the last several decades that doesn’t do anything more than make marriage increasing punitive for men.
In the absence of marriage, single women will increasingly vote in favor of government largess as a replacement for what men provide to support a family.
...it is now estimated that the Social Security Trust Fund, which relies on younger individuals to pay for those retiring, will run dry by 2034, resulting in benefit cuts of at least 20 percent...
Translation - have more children for them to be tax slaves and pay into what was identified as a scam from day one.
The reasons why? Pew writes: “Not having kids has made it easier for them to afford the things they want, have time for hobbies and interests, and save for the future.”
Has there been much evidence of saving for the future? My instincts say not so much.
“anyone who accepted Jesus and is living it out is never alone and should know that loneliness is a human temporary feeling resolved by getting back into relationship with God or find a church based group and get involved.
presto, no need to feel lonely, except by personal choice.”
A couple of decades ago, I had been retired from a 30 year career and later 2 decades of conducting focus groups for good pay.
My wife was still working full time as a head RN for a family practice group.
Before I turned 62, our CPA suggested that I fully retire to avoid taxes and start taking advantage of my 401k’s, retirement and SS payments and the tax laws.
At first my wife was against this action until our CPA, a good church friend told her if I didn’t do that she should just throw money away while driving to and from work.
So I followed the CPA’s advice and did a lot of home things and church things.
A couple of years later the same CPA told 3 church men/friends that they needed to do the same thing that I did.
They retired, and we started a church bridge club for men retirees.
A couple of decades later, 3 of us are still alive and play bridge on a regular basis at the home of a less active guy.
In the meantime my wife, has retired and revived a women’s Bible study group which meets every week at the wife’s home of our less active bridge player.
Meanwhile, non church members, not satisfied with their current churches may be joining ours via contacts with the bridge players and/or Bible study women.
You actually have to put in the work to raise good children into healthy adults, that is true.
Family is the foundation for all society. No family, no society.
People who have chosen not to make a family, usually because they are self centered and lazy, are living off the work of others. Once it reaches a critical point the entire structure falls down.
Translation - have more children for them to be tax slaves and pay into what was identified as a scam from day one.
Just a few facts here.....
The poverty rate for married couples with children is 5.4%. This is the lowest poverty rate among all family types.
To put this in perspective:
Married couple families: 5.4% poverty rate
Female-householder families (no spouse present): 24.7% poverty rate
Male-householder families (no spouse present): 11.6% poverty rate
Makes you wonder why our government makes female householder families a priority.
