fair enough. the programs succeeded because the wrong choice was made--and yes, i believe there was a choice.
we gotta be honest. many men allowed welfare to become daddy. a lot of men had 3-4 BMs, receiving welfare they could pinch off of. a lot of BM felt too comfortable being wreck less, knowing there was a safety net. we see the same behavioral patterns today. BW choosing welfare over the men, because dudes aren't providing comparable to, or better amount of resources.
so yeah, i'm faulting BW for accepting the shyt, and i'm faulting BM for allowing it to go down.
THIS! An ex-coworker of mine who works at a grocery store, told me how most of the time single mothers shop alone with the kids and the only time you see a man with them is when they get their food stamps. He said the guys are picking out stuff putting it in the cart, with the baby mama and kids like they are gonna be a family.
