Another article with all sorts of statistics, graphs and 8 x 10 glossy photos. (this is not to belittle Mr. Roscoes' letter) The debates, conversations go on and on about periphery subjects of whatever new phrase someone deems important. Obviously I am not an "intellectual" and don't have the research power of all that are interviewed and printed here. But, getting back to the periphery subjects because, IMHO, the first and foremost subject should be What is the Root Cause of all these discussions put out in the ethers? I say the Cause is the War on Poverty. Nothing has done more harm to low income families, parents and individuals. And Nobody is talking about how to reverse this atrocity.
Obviously, not all WoP legislation has had a negative effect (or has it?) Then again, if there was a rational, common sense plan, you would have to have those same traits in a President and a majority of Congress. Ya, that's going to happen.
Is there even one person doing this kind of research and gathering data?
Glenn has written on Moynihan's essays regarding root causes which are primarily family formation and Clifton links Melissa Kearney’s book, The Two-Parent Privilege which is representative of most of the academic work. But yes, social capital is hard so you don't see much writing on solutions.
