This is true, but why is this disfunction still with us even after a 50 plus year war on poverty and $15trillion spent? Throwing money at it for 50 years did not work very well, with 1 in 8 children still hungry? This problem is still very common in Democrat run inner cities, who get Federal money to help, but end up money laundering it, among their cronies.

"One in eight children in America live in households without consistent access to adequate food."
School lunch is often the only food children get.
The most important family value; foundation for success, is having both the natural mother and natural father raising their own children. This is the only combination that can take advantage of natural instinct, to give both parents the extra energy, love and concern, needed to plow forward. There are exceptions to the rule, but one's own natural children are closest. It solves many problems that strangers cannot.
The rest are of the solutions, offered by government, are mostly band aids, due to not having the correct foundation. Law allows two unmarried people to cohabitate without loss of social benefits, but if you are two married people both with benefits you will be penalized. This is designed to screw up the foundation, so a huge social mop can be justified, with the Left thinking a bigger and bigger mop is the solution.
When the nuclear family was strong, through the 1950's, the welfare state was tiny and was done mostly via charity. Most women could stay home as homemakers and care for the children, with the father working. With most woman home, there was less demand for jobs, which led to better wages and more head of household employment. Family often included elderly grandparents living with you, which was good for the children. There was less social need for daycare or senior care, which now a big part of the social mop.
Once women started to leave the home and divorce became a valid alternative, society needed double the housing, with many women unable to stay home and/or work, without extra help with the children or costs. Costs also went up due to double the demand for housing, and the need for two complete households. Poverty came mostly to the women and children.
The Left created a lot pain to justify the welfare state, while acting like they are the solution to the problem they created. The Right is about nuclear family values; marriage and natural nuclear family, since it takes care of many social problems, without government. Abortion is an important issue connected to this foundation, since if women can be conned not to care for unborn children, her mother skills are deficient; good foundation is being further undermined.
Big overbearing government is what the Left prefers, which means poverty will forever remain a political tool, for power. The problem will never be solved, even in the next 50 years, unless we boot the Left off their leadership roles, that they have built for themselves, to act as overlords to their slaves and serfs.
The gender bending push is also not designed to help the natural father and mother foundation, since anything goes in terms of what gender/sex you can claim to be, including parent combinations that will not work, as expected. The Right, is for the classic nuclear family foundation, that can be shown to be the most efficient system; little need for Big brother. But the Left is addicted to Big Brother control, and will try to undermine any independence from its grip.
This entire discussion is similar to how free sex led to the rise in STD's. Sexually transmitted disease increases with lifestyles, that do not involve a monogamous natural male and natural female; foundation. Solving the problem is straight forward. However, the Left does not see look at the foundational problem, but only sees the surface; people suffering with disease, as though disease is the heart of the problem. In reality, that disease problem is connected to the loss of the natural foundation. This is another created problem, used to justify another government bureaucracy, that throws money at the affect, and not the cause. This is designed to build government, by not solving problems, while wasting money as though this alone, will work.
