Seems like 22% of women who have 2 or more biological children have had multiple fathers for the children.
As many would say, 22% of women with 2 or more children have multiple baby daddies. Wonder what that number was two generations ago.
Just another example of crumbling morals in America!
Will be rather interesting with the next generation as in 24 states a majority of births are Medicaid births and over 40% are unmarried births these days.
Only 22%? And nice attempt at ****-shaming...I imagine those numbers include women with children from a previous marriage who remarried and had another child.
Suppliers, contractors, bondholders, banks, investors...and, yes, taxpayers paid a LOT to keep Trump from being FAR in the red forever. 10,000 Medicaid births are a bargain compared to what he has cost us.
I lived within a few miles of Atlantic City when this was going on. Just one small action was his taking of 300 million of saved-up taxpayer money to build special roads and tunnels to service Casinos he never built or ran into bankruptcy. He ripped off some friends of mine for products.
Believe me - lots of people paid for Trumps lifestyle. He's no Warren Buffet.
His lifestyle overall yes, but not the cost to responsibly see to the needs of children. The cost to responsibly see to the needs of a child is a drop in the bucket as a component Trump's financial maze.
In addition to child support and alimony (which were paid post first business bankruptcy) Trump handed over a cashier's check for 10 million to Ivana's attorney's at the settlement conference (and in addition to the house in CT) in March of 1991. Trump's first business bankruptcy was nine months after that (the Taj Mahal). Trump reportedly had, at one point, over 900 million in personal guarantees to banks that the banks let him shave to 550 million. Trump later said...re his three oldest kids...that 'Ivana gave them back to me fully formed'.
Marla got at least 2.5 million in cash from Trump in their divorce, and sold a house in Calabasas for 2.2 million in 2013 (an 850k profit), and is reportedly worth between 20-30 million. By the time Trump started paying for college for Tiffany, The Apprentice had already been on the air for 8 years.
Barron was born after Trump was already filming The Apprentice.
Trump is definitely no Buffett.
Warren Buffett is also smart enough to have stayed away from running for President .
If you are basing this on the so-called "nuclear family" of the 1950s, it never existed according to sociology studies. I have 2 years of college sociology that I recently finished.
Wow! How are you NOT the National Director of the Department of Family Services for the US??
I mean Wow! TWO years of college soc!!!! What college? Stanford? Penn, Columbia?
American is rapidly becoming more and more hedonistic. For the majority, children are an inconvenient byproduct of sexual pleasure. Many fathers are from fatherless homes and have no sense of obligation to children they sired. The US is now a nation of mostly bastard children.
Regardless if you believe in God or not the Bible was and is a good blueprint for living. Today many people are basing their lives on instant pleasure with no regard to the future or the effect on others.
We hear more and more cases of women giving birth in a public bathroom and walking away leaving the infant at the mercy of strangers. The hard part to understand is with all the methods of birth control available why do we have so many unwanted children? Men are just as responsible as women on this matter.
If you do believe in God, you are aware that all will stand in front of him/her and give an account.
1. Pretty much only true for black males (and possibly latino, but I'm too lazy to look up the stats). Many white males do have father figures in their lives (whether as a married father to their biological mother, step father, or separated father with visitation/custody).
2. Yes, let's rape and pillage and condemn all non-believers in your flavor of religion. Great blueprint for humnanity.
that is what you were taught in college to believe as most sociologist are way leaning to the left. You notice I I said most. I briefly changed my college major from nutrition to sociology in college but went back to nutrition. Believe me, I was raised in the 50s and the nuclear family very much existed.
I grew up in the 50's too, and as far as the "nuclear family", yes more couples stayed married but not because they were all happy but because getting a divorce was very difficult and very expensive. Getting a divorce required proving adultery, cruelty or abandonment. Plenty of men and some women had extra marital affairs, domestic violence was largely ignored or the woman was blamed, cops didn't usually even respond to domestic violence calls unless someone was seriously injured. And consumerism was crazy, some of my aunts and uncles spent most of their time trying to outdo the neighbors buying brand new cars every year, the latest appliances. The nice thing about the 50s was the economic prosperity which allowed for middle class families to get by nicely on just one person working. But for the most part life wasn't like it was portrayed on Ozzie and Harriet
22% of women mean America has no morals? I know of this man whose been married three times and had multiple affairs. Got a nice cushy job in Washington. Do I think he's indicative of most of America? Not really.
He's surely a damned cute, hot looking guy and making the most of it. After all, I've heard that looks are everything.

Pure conjecture. And many has no quantifiable meaning.
