Well, Rick is slightly off. He doesn't look closely enough at causes. The breakdown of the American family is not the principal cause of the undermining of this country. The principal cause of the undermining of the American family is also the principal cause of the undermining of this country and that's the metastatic growth of government at all levels.

...which happens because family breakdown forces desperate people to look to government to rescue them from their plights. How many single mothers are on government assistance of some kind? Nearly all of them.
The left knows full well that this is a vicious cycle. Provide free stuff and loosen the laws so that people are not responsible for their bad behavior and families will break down. Family breakdown creates more of a demand for public assistance. Santorum is the only candidate who understands how to break this cycle by getting the government out of the business of abetting family breakdown and by using the power of government to assist families to stay together and survive without government assistance.
