WARSAW, Poland – Facing scrutiny (click here) over his rhetoric and record regarding single mothers, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told reporters on Thursday that two-parent homes help children “live lives of purpose and meaning.”
In a chapter of his 1995 book ”Profiles of Character” entitled “The Restoration of Shame,” Bush, who is in Europe this week on an international tour, complained that having children outside of marriage had become common because there was “no longer a stigma attached to this behavior” and that “parents and neighbors have become ineffective at attaching some sense of ridicule to this behavior.”...
"W" was in office in 2006. He owns the increase in poverty in the USA. 2013 was the first time since 2006 the poverty rate decreased and it was under President Obama. "Setting an example" for behavior from the White House doesn't work. Reality and governing does work.
There is no reason for any Bush to hold onto the idea there simply needs to be someone that demonstrates clean living in the White House and all the problems will clear up. The only reason Bushs put on a happy face, besides they are happily married, is for politics. Evangelicals do believe all that has to be done is have the PROPER demonstration of morality in the White House and all problems in the country vaporizes.
45.3 million people are 14.2 percent of the USA population. That is a national shame. When the number of people in the USA are actually stated, I think it makes people realize how completely horrible 14.2 sounds.
It is the poverty that hurts children, not the fact they have ONE LOVING PARENT raising them.
Russia has a poverty rate of 5.3 percent in 2009.
Ireland has 6.8 percent poverty.
