Does the government do a better job at raising kids than an intact two parent household?

[Anonymous]

What if American society is wrong and it turns out kids do better with two parents in the home?

I am just going to come out and say I dont trust anyone of you half as far as I can throw you, which is not very far, so I am just going to make a skeptical argument that there are plenty of families that would work way worse than a service provided by the government. Never underestimate how bad people can be.

American society has a 2 parent household as it’s core

The facts show that in the vast majority of cases children are better off in a two parent household.

Ever heard the phrase "close enough for government work"? It exists for a reason. There are very few things the US government does better than the alternative,

No, but most parents left the government raise their children either way.

In the USA they do at least.

That's the kinda crap that wife beaters come up with to scare their wife from seeking a divorce and leaving their sorry asses.

I’m not married and I never hit someone but I do think it made crime and addiction worse in this country in some aspects. Not everything is black and white.

The government can't do anything right. I agree with Jacque Fresco; the government should be replaced by AI.

The government doesn't even do a good job issuing a piece of metal to stick on your car to identify the driver.
