| For the first time in American statistical history, the majority of American adults are single. 124 million or 50.2% of Americans are single. Some will get married, but increasing numbers never will. Demographically a population of single adults means the death of the Republican Party. It eliminates the possibility of libertarian and fiscally conservative policies. It leads inevitably to the welfare state. Single people are less likely to have a support system that keeps them from becoming a public charge. Children born to single parents perform poorly in school and are more likely to engage in criminal behavior. A nation of single people will inevitably become a welfare state and a police state. |

| #3 #1 We need a two state solution. Blue States and Red States? Or left coast and right coast versus interior states? |

| #2 Not sure how he derives his conclusions. But it would be interesting to see the numbers and percentages based on race. I would not be surprised to see the percentage of whites at about the same while the growth in numbers of what was once minorities has grown to skew the total population percentages. |
