BTW, Ken, when you break down American statistics on crime and other social pathologies by race you find that the European-American population pretty well reflects the Northwestern European population, and the African-American population has a better record than their counterparts in Africa or South America.

Asian-Americans tend to be a bunch of goody two shoe types who spend their time studying and working hard and contribute only a negligible number to the criminal class in America.

This will change in the future, of course!

So, tell me why African-American communities are so much worse than Nederlandish people when it comes to crime?

Out of wedlock births, single parent families, and government dependence are among the main reasons, IMO.

LBJ stretched the general Welfare Clause out of all recognition as President, having done the same with the Commerce Clause as one of FDR's favorite New Deal Democrats in Congress.

"The Congress is charged by the Constitution to "provide . . . for the general welfare of the United States." Our present abundance is a measure of its success in fulfilling that duty. Now Congress is being asked to extend that welfare to all our people."

--LBJ War on Poverty speech, March 16, 1964
