The Democrats killed the urban nuclear family when Lyndon Baines Johnson created The Great Society and offered free gubbmint cheeze to welfare mothers when they had children. No incentive for the dad to stick around. He was quoted as saying that his policies: "'I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."
Of course, his programs did not work (War on Poverty, War on Drugs, etc... anyone?) so what did subsequent Democrats do? What they always do when one of their programs fail — they doubled down and increased the size and scope of the program. Funding? Just sign here...
Fast forward to today and a real leader - from The Post-millenial:
DeSantis signs bill investing $70 million into programs to support fatherhood
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday investing $70 million into programs to support "responsible fatherhood" in a statewide awareness campaign. DeSantis signed HB 7065, a child welfare bill that promotes responsible fatherhood in the state and encourages their "active participation in their children's lives."
That is what an effective leader does - identify the root cause of the problem, find a solution and implement it.
