Another good one by Dr. Sowell, and he’s so right on the mark. Thanks for the ping.
Correct. That, and reversing the migratory flow, and reversing the trend toward fatherlessness and predatory-male behavior in the black community, and replacing it with a hearty chunk of Bookerism: Trades, schooling, practical manual education for those who've screwed the dog academically, for instance. For those who have not, protection from the thug culture of bullying "Oreos" and "tan men" for being "too white" if they attend night school or high school and try to achieve. The strivers need air cover; they need practical help right now.
Jugging the layabouts and criminals in vast, gigantic new prisons to stop the revolving door is a first step.
I wish him to live 120 happy, healthy years and I so pray!
“...every welfare mom suddenly has to support her own children from what she herself can earn — what happens to minority birthrate then?”
It will continue to increase as will the fatality rate of minority infants. There is no sense of responsibility or logic involved here.
It's just a question of time...
Ineed, now more than ever.

You are mistaken, the problem is raw birth rates, whites in Europe and most of the USA are having less than 2.1 children per woman that is less than is required to simply sustain our the current numbers.
People are not having “large” families anymore. indeed the very definition of a “large” family is shrinking to what is historically a ridiculesly small family.
Our modern culture and values is leading to our extinction as a race.
People should be having 5 children when in fact their just barely having 2.
“When we can no longer afford such payments, and every welfare mom suddenly has to support her own children from what she herself can earn — what happens to minority birthrate then?”
It plummets, of course.
But you better have a thick skin (to ignore the cries of hungry women and children), and plenty of bullets (to fight off the healthy ones)!
By the way, you are correct, the only way to “solve” the welfare mom and illegitimacy problem is to cut them off. But a polite society will never do this, because it cannot stomach the consequences.

“He speaks economics, but Balkanization is about ethnicity.”
I have to disagree. We’ve had many ethnic groups for most of our history - English, Irish, German, Italian Spanish, Chinese, Japanese... you name it they’ve come here. Balkanization was never a significant problem until recently, until leftist ideas such as multicult replaced the “melting pot”.
“In this case, I think it is.”
If we remember what Yamamoto Isoroku said, our time will come.
“Our modern culture and values are leading to our extinction as a race. People should be having 5 children, when in fact they’re just barely having 2.”
Absolutely correct. Japan gives a family about $3,000 for having a baby. However, not so long ago a government official was pilloried for proposing cash rewards to Japanese women for having babies.
Overpopulation is as big a myth as global warming. Have babies. My wife and I have six, and it’s been the greatest joy in my life.
The way I read it, racial Balkanization is immediately followed by its economic effects; the two are hitched together. If our welfare programs were to disappear, would the Balkanization? You have already answered that question.
I am now reading Thomas Sowell’s “Vision of the Anointed.” It is a great read. If you don’t have the time to read the whole book, the first two chapters sets a great foundation.
A good example of Balkanization
It's not necessary to have them starve. It's just necessary to have the level of benefits reduced, and work requirements increased, to the point where underclass women no longer see the lifestyle as being viable.
And if the underclass initiates violence when the cupboards are bare, then they will find out just how much stocking up the middle class has done.
$3K will motivate the underclass to have babies, but won't be enough for the upper-middle. It takes a LOT to raise a middle-class kid by middle-class standards.
Better would be to have each kid take off 10% of your tax liability (up to some maximum, like 5). The Left would scream that this was "regressive", though.
My grandfather's people had arrived naked and in chains in what became Alexandria Virginia ~ they were tossed into the Potomac ~ no planks for them to walk down.
That was about 1602.
WIthin months they'd clothed themselves, manufactured firearms and made the long march around the Potomac to the New and ended up in Alexander County where they created a new civilization dedicated to American independence.
Are people who arrived at later times less capable?
1702 ~ not 1602. That’s the other side, but that was 1598.
