Do social policies and laws influence families and households?

Answer 1

Are you serious?? Of course it does! Everything that happens influences someone. It's called the "ripple effect". For e.g. laws to allow gays the right to marry...that influences every household in this nation. First it tells everyone that government can decide what is right/wrong for us. It will eventually lead to laws giving pedophiles the right to molest children, etc. You can't give one group special rights without giving the same to others.

Answer 2

well if you take welfair for an example...

welfair is a bad thing.. for many reasons..

1. it stops people from ever moving up the later.... or trying.. why.. they dont have to.. they will get the rent paid.. the bills paid and to some extend most of the bills paid... they never have to do anything but wait for the 15th of the month...

look at 1994 or 1996 i forget which it was... but 34 million people got kicked off of welfair.. those people didnt need the money... some of them got money from 2 or 3 states ( doubled dipped ) so to speak.. others just made to much money.. point blank.. they stole it...

anyway.. that money ( not being spent ) for like 5 years made this large surplus... which came back as a tax cut to everyone that paid taxes...
welfar was changed for the better ( at first ) then put back the way it was...

welfair as it was for decades said if you goto school.. you lose welfair.. if you get a job you lose welfair... if you do anything to better yourself.. you lose the welfair..

it was changed this way... ( 34 million kicked off ) and then the program read .. if you goto school or get a job... you can keep everything...

now the program did have a part that said after 2 years you have to get the heck off... but that was dropped in congress.. (a vote buying thing....)

look the 1970s under jimmy carter... carter went after the rich. he raised taxes to the top end of around 70%... which casued a bad ripped effect of the following

10% unemployment rate
19.5% interest rates
21% inflation
the stock market fell like 400 points.. considering the stock market was not even at 2000 points that was a lot
gas in the 1970s adjusted for inflation in todays dollars hit around $3.00 a gallon when it was not even at 75 cents..

in general all social programs have an effect on every person. for the most part they have a bad effect, but one everyone accepts..

other social programs include.. eductions / police / fire / etc...

in most nations social programs take a toll on the nation and end up bankrupting the country and everyone in it
