I think it all starts on a very basic level, that our country is becoming over-populated and under-educated. People often want to point the finger at the poor minority communities who "take advantage of the system". While this is true, and they do take advantage, you have to remember most of these people who are now coming into their teens and 20's are one of eight kids, from three different fathers, who they never knew. All they saw from the earliest age they could remember was their Mother taking free handouts from the government instead of working. Most of these kids never had a chance to live the "American Dream" because they never knew it to begin with.
And the worst part, is that it's a never ending cycle. Those same kids who were brought into this world by a 15 year old mother, will be the same ones who go out and do the exact same thing. And then you have the kids who were brought up in a traditional family, with a Mom and Dad, and they go to college, get a job... Those people might have one or two kids, if any at all. While the unemployed, under-educated, unmarried folks have a boatload of children.
So if 100 from the "bad" group have six kids each, and 100 from the "good" group have one kid... That means you have a society of 6:1 moving forward... and somehow people expect this country to somehow recover and prosper? I just don't get how anyone plans on that happening without a overhaul of the entire system from top to bottom.
