    SCIENTIFIC PAPER RULE OF THUMB
    A lot of papers are published. A lot of very bad papers are published. If you are aware of a paper and you are not a researcher in the field producing the paper, the chance that a paper is absolute nonsense, or worse, propaganda, approches one hundred percent. The chance that anything in psychology instead of cognitive science, or social science instead of behavioral economics, or political science rather than macro economics is nonsense or worse, propaganda, approaches absolute certainty – even if you’re in the field.

  • OUR SOLUTION TO ENDING PATERNAL CHILD SUPPORT EASILY, AND ENDING THE HATE MACHIN

    OUR SOLUTION TO ENDING PATERNAL CHILD SUPPORT EASILY, AND ENDING THE HATE MACHINE OF FAMILY COURT

    In 2021, the child support program in the United States collected a total of $32.7 billion. That $32 billion represents approximately 0.47% of the U.S. federal budget for the fiscal year 2021, which was about $6.8 trillion. This indicates that the total child support collected is a relatively small fraction of the overall federal budget.

    Our recommended solution? Cut the Department of Ed, and use it’s $79.6B budget to directly pay alimony and child support. It is the most destructive federal institution. End the endless court battles and family crisis, and let the voter’s decide. And let the budget pressure cause the governmet to take responsibility for the crisis it created by intervening in an ancient institution that is necessary for human capital formation and worse- giving us common interests, because as families we have almost everything in common but as individuals we have almost nothing in common but self interest.

    FEDERAL BUDGET
    – Discretionary Spending: About $1.5 trillion, with a significant portion allocated to defense.
    – Mandatory Spending: Around $4.6 trillion, driven largely by Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
    – Military Spending: Included in discretionary spending, the defense budget was about $753 billion.

    Reasoning
    1) the state enacted a) no fault divorce b) ending liabilty for interference in a marriage, c) child support d) alimony. This has created the incentive for women to divorce for a long list of reasons from boredom to grass-is-greener magical thinking with women vastly overrepresented in initiating divorce.
    2) The primary economic benefit of marriage is the shared cost of household cost and maintenance. So divorced or single parent households of necessity impoverishes both parties, but more importantly impoverishes men.
    3) women are no longer disadvantaged in the workplace but advantaged in the workplace, because of the gradual transformation to a service economy. And women are no longer disadvantaged in income making more than males until males mature into later age.
    4) Men mature later, occuply riskier professions, accumulate more cellular damage, and weaken and die earlier, with shorter possible work lives. As such men are being impoverished, unable to obtain new marriage and care and rates of suicide continue to escalate.
    5) Men are evading marriage out of economic fear of legal impoverishment whenever possible and women are delaying marriage to maximize attention and consumption.
    6) Single motherhood has become endemic, and while it’s politically sensitive to say so, single motherhood is a principle cause of social externalities – and surprisingly men are better single parents than women – and for reasons we’ve just begun to undersetand. Women infantilize offspring to maintain control via manipulation. Men seek to make children independent (adults),
    7) The reason for the decrease in household income is largely due to the delay in marriage, delay in childbirth, reduction of children born to below replacement (sustainable) levels necessary to maintain redistribution, medicare, medicaid, social security.

    Cheers
