obviously it’s not the fault of liberalism that so many manufacturing jobs were lost.

But liberalism makes those inner cities worse. Because liberalism (1) doesn’t come
close to adequately stressing the downside of single parent households. liberals thing that the concept of the nuclear family is an anachronism, and that if something feels good, you should just do it and not worry about consequences.

(2) liberalism also crippled those poor people
in inner cities by making them
addicted to welfare, robbing them if the initiative to take care of themselves.

A great liberal, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, predicted this long ago. he predicted that liberalism would
destroy the black. nuclearr family, and that would
be a holocaust for blacks. he was right.

i don’t know how, with decades of
empirical evidence, that liberals don’t see the damage they are doing. my guess is that it’s intentional, because if you create this permanent underclass, liberals
make them dependent on welfare, and therefore dependable reliable democrat voters.

that also explains why liberals oppose school choice.

i may well be wrong, but i can’t see a more logical explanation. liberal approach to poverty is to give poor people just enough to stay alive, but not nearly what they need to climb out of poverty. i’m not sure liberals want them
to climb out of poverty, because if they do, many will no longer vote democrat.
