As the GOP presidential primary heats up and the 2016 election draws closer, Republicans have been pandering to their far-right evangelical base and blaming social liberalism for the decline of “family values” in the United States. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal insists that liberals are declaring war on families and religious liberty; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has been beating the culture war drum and railing against abortion, gay rights, feminism, same-sex marriage and sexy images in pop music. And as usual, Republicans are overlooking the real reason why so many Americans are either delaying oropting out of parenthood: economic stress. The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that the average cost of raising a child born in 2013 will exceed $245,000, and birth rates among women in their 20 have reached an historic low in the U.S. (according to the Centers for Disease Control). America’s middle class has been facing a full-fledged economic assault, making it harder and harder to take on the colossal expense of parenthood.

We were here first. Go find your own country to ruin. Oh wait, you already have! Shall we list the socialist utopias around the world?

Then how come your Thread is named "9 Reasons Why America Is a Terrible Place to Raise Kids" and not "The problem is conservatives".

Interesting to note that half the items in your list are the direct result of Democratic policy pushed in their national platform.

You'd have to ask the editor.

You may hate the messenger but the posted article is pretty accurate, ignoring the political banter.
