Throwing money at a problem rarely provides a workable long term solution and Ms. Blumner’s rant on the policies of the Bush Administration is similarly misplaced.  Sweden and Finland, the most socialistic countries in the world when it comes to societal issues and whose policies on paychecks and health care more closely resemble the attitudes professed by Ms. Blumner, both have higher divorce rates then the U.S.

Increasing divorce rates have more to do with personal deficiencies of maturity, education and responsibility as supported by the two greatest predictors of divorce: age and education. Moreover, it is extremely unlikely that simply increasing people’s income alone even combined with more sick days will somehow increase the maturity, respect and commitment two people need for a sustained relationship. DOH!

The elephant in the room is not the Bush administration policies, it is Ms. Blumner’s wrong headed hatred of President Bush. Don’t know why Ms. Blumner doesn’t simply publish a column that says I hate President Bush. It would be more economical, less hypocritical and, quite frankly, definitely more honest then the tripe she does publish.
