The author was Patrick Moynihan. I don't know the name of the book but here is a report that he authored in 1965 while he was the assistant secretary of labor for the kennedy administration. While I don't agree with all of his conclusions, he was dead on with regard to the black family and what the sort of welfare system the democrats of the day had planned was going to do.The sheer numbers of "i told you so's" that patrick could have tossed about is staggering. And keep in mind that he was a bleeding heart liberal. Conservatives of the day predicted much the same consequences and were ignored out of hand but now all these years later, their predictions have proved to be right except that even the conservatives of the day couldn't forsee the magnitude of the problems the welfare state would cause.Considering their long and illustrious record of being able to apply common sense to a program and predict the results with a remarkable degree of accuracy, one must wonder why the predictions of conservatives are always disregarded. cough...coug socialized health care...cough.
