<p>Much has been written about the social ills associated with fatherlessness, and for good reason: <a href="https://www.fatherhood.org/father-absence-statistic?hsCtaTracking=6013fa0e-dcde-4ce0-92da-afabf6c53493%7C7168b8ab-aeba-4e14-bb34-c9fc0740b46e">without a father at home</a>, children are four times as likely to grow up in poverty, twice as likely to be obese, are significantly more likely to be incarcerated and, for female children, to become pregnant as a teenager.</p>
<p>The absence of fathers in communities of all kinds has increased dramatically since the advent of the Great Society programs in the 1960s, but the spike has been most dramatic in the African-American community, where almost <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/77-black-births-to-single-moms-49-for-hispanic-immigrants">77%</a> of births occur out of wedlock and <a href="https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in-single-parent-families-by#detailed/1/any/false/870,573,869,36,868,867,133,38,35,18/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/432,431">66%</a> of children are raised without fathers. Economists <a href="http://capitalismmagazine.com/2004/08/war-on-poverty-revisited/">Thomas Sowell</a> and <a href="http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams060805.asp">Walter Williams</a>, both African-Americans, have written extensively about the decimation of the black family that has occurred partially as a result of incentives created by the Great Society.</p>
