"Did the support for single parent families reduce or increase the number of single parent families?" - Dickie

Correlation is not causal.

Perhaps you and AWG should be looking at why the number of single parent families have increased. Its certainly NOT because of the amount of support that has been received. Would you rather these women stay in abusive and/or dyfunctional relationships?

Thats a very old argument and does nothing but blame the poor. Moral judgements only provide a justification for keeping them down.
