I read somewhere, bb, that the ONLY treaty the Native Americans made with the newcomers that was not broken was the one they made with the Quakers. The government broke them whenever circumstances changed, such as wishing to open a new territory to settlers.

Scoville, I did mention "a single woman with small children"- local governments will go to work to settle them into an apartment, while they tend not to do anything of the kind for a single man.

As time passes and children grow older, I agree that the welfare system is morally bankrupt.
