I didn't like AFDC because it lowered the incentive for having the husband/father in the house....more payout...

Catholic DEMOCRAT Moynihan pointed this out in his report...the disincentives to various government reports.

My inclination is toward economics/incentives/compensating behaviors/unintended consequences..in the model of Gary Becker from the Univ of Chicago.

Some people here at NCR seem to be largely hidden racists of sorts, pretending that the Democrats and their laundry list of half-thought out programs have done great things for blacks.   And contrariwise, that Republicans are mean white guys.    I didn't know there was anyone left still holding such cartoonish views.
