I do know improving economic security to people should be our government's priority, and that can only be sustainably accomplished by the private sector. Policies that will improve the ability of private sector job creation should be supported. Policies that will harm private sector job creation should be as a minimum postponed. If we really want to help families and children, that is how we should measure any initiatives and bills put forth by our government at this time. I don't have the answers to those questions.

The current, and likely escalating economic chaos is destabilizing a sense of security on the domestic front, which in turn causes great difficulty for families and their children. This has been true of every economic down turn, this one is just much larger than most in the last 30+ years. What is the solution? Focus on allowing the economy to grow so the private sector starts creating jobs again. Perhaps she meant the topic to be more about domestic security.

Single mothers are at a much greater risk for becoming homeless and having other economic problems. Are you proposing a program to decrease the number of single mothers or are you proposing that married couples who have much better risk management and forward time thinking skills should pay much higher taxes so that single mothers can go through life without having to worry about their life choices.

If you were trying to make a point, you lost me.
