Problem in this country is the destruction of the family and lack of personal responsiblity. Mothers who have multiple children out of wedlock and are encouraged to have more. Men who get multiple girls pregnant and contribute nothing to the upbrining of the kid, financially or otherwise.
Now what happens with those kids. Chances are they will be on some form of public assitance when they grow up. Chances are the girls will get pregnant at an early age. Chances are the boys will get some girls pregnant.
Chances are they will get into some problems with the law. Who pays for more cops, who pays for public defenders, who pays for the cost of running a prison, the taxpayers.
And its a cycle that keeps going and going.
Until people are held accountable, socialism cant work.

teen pregnancy is down, teen drug use is down, teen smoking is down
however that doesnt mean kids are going to vote in record numbers, even tho a couple states do have under-20 state reps now.
gen Y and younger represent the next big baby boom amplified, so while the biggest group in the US under the poverty line will be children well have the most buying power and certainly the most voting power. only thing we have 2 wait and see is if the MTV and advertising generation uses all this media connectivity to get out there and make a difference or just to keep buying overpriced crap.
too easy 2 say 'kids r gonna go out get drugged up get arrested get knocked up' w/o looking at the bigger picture
