The most current statistics I am aware of put the out-of-wedlock birthrates in
the U.S. at 77% for Blacks (85% in the cities), 50% for Hispanics, 25-30% for
Whites, and 17% for Asians. I suspect that corresponds pretty closely to
poverty and crime rates, which are consistent with what Janet Yellen, Biden's
Treasury Secretary and Obama's former Fed Chairman, wrote 25 years ago in the
Brookings Review, when rates were quite a bit lower than they are today:
"Since 1970, out-of-wedlock birth rates have soared. In 1965, 24 percent of
black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. By
1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for
whites. Every year about one million more children are born into fatherless
families. If we have learned any policy lesson well over the past 25 years, it
is that for children living in single-parent homes, the odds of living in
poverty are great. The policy implications of the increase in out-of-wedlock
births are staggering."
This is perhaps the most significant social issue facing the country today, and
yet is ignored in the media, for obvious reasons. That is a national scandal.

Subject: [pa64] order Someone mentioned to Irish Golfer Fehrety that a certain
golfer married and had a child. Feherty commented “They got it in the right
order.” This comment may seem fairly banal but I have taken it to heart. It may
seem to have limited applicability but we live in a world where “the baby beats
the nurse, and quite athwart goes all decorum." I see unmarried couples on the
Home and Garden network buying $600,000 homes and remember Fehrety. Then they
make their decisions on trivial matters. There seems to be no order to things.
Cancel culture and celebrity worship suffer from the same elevation of the
trivial. However, I take comfort in such entitlement. Will people who buy their
homes on the basis of kitchen cabinet colors be willing to make the sacrifices
that a green new deal will produce?
