Abstract
It is interesting that the authors of both commentaries on Welfare State and Family Breakup: The Mythical Connection take exception to the analysis for the same and also for different reasons. Monroe and Garand argue that state spending for public welfare is an inadequate measure of social integration, suggesting one that incorporates expenditures for other state functions as well, and Wisensale suggests that the actions of the private sector also should be examined in relation to family life and stability. At the same time, both commentaries thought the analysis should have focused more narrowly on low-income couples and AFDC which is designed for families without a breadwinning parent (either because the parents are not married; or are divorced, separated, or widowed; or in some states, because the primary breadwinner is unemployed).
