Wayne, While I agree that single motherhood is a growing problem, it is not an insurmountable problem. There is also no such thing as "Theres only so much they can do about it". That is a cop out, and not valid here in the U.S. The first thing a single mother can do is make sure she teaches her children well, so that the cycle does not transfer to the next generation. She can insist that her children go to school, sit up and listen, and become good citizens. I read recently of a man who was blind from birth who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Haiti with no education, who didnt speak English, and had more obsticles facing him than the majority of people we would deem poor in this country. He could have very well settled for the same life style and whatever those who depend on someone else for their well being, But he chose to take advantage of the opportunities that the U.S. afforded him, and became a very successful businessman. If a blind, uneducated black man from Haiti can make it, so can a single mother. Regardless of whatever argument anyone offers as to why people here in the U.S. live in poverty, the fact is that nobody has to stay that way, except for a very few. Even the sick and disabled find ways and means of supporting themselves if they take advantage of the opportunities that exist. There are times when we may be temporarily broke or without funds, but it does not ever have to be a permanent situation. There are always options. Making it a permanent situation, and being content in a unfavorable situation is not an acceptable excuse. Those prople have to be willing to pay as big a price for success as they are of failure.
