Abstract:
Government has an obligation to promote the general welfare of its citizenry. Social and economic trends are placing increasing stresses on the family, an institution that is fundamental to the economic and social health of Americans. The family and family values are important for the healthy development of children. When families fail, there is little government can do but pick up the pieces--it can never put them together again.
