To leave the Paul Ryan beat for a bit, Bryan Fischer -- "Director of Issues Analysis" for the American Family Association -- has weighed in on welfare. In short, he doesn't like it. Why? Because it encourages "fornication" among black people:
Welfare has destroyed the African-American family by telling young black women that husbands and fathers are unnecessary and obsolete. Welfare has subsidized illegitimacy by offering financial rewards to women who have more children out of wedlock. We have incentivized fornication rather than marriage, and it's no wonder we are now awash in the disastrous social consequences of people who rut like rabbits.
