In 1970, the number of single-parent families with children under the age of 18 was 3.8 million. By 1990, the number had more than doubled to 9.7 million.

In 20 years, while the war on poverty was being waged full force, before the horrible cuts blamed on the current administration, the number of single parent families doubled. Ergo: Did the support for single parent families reduce or increase the number of single parent families?
