Many people are concerned about our high divorce rate and the large number of children affected by these broken homes. However, only the libertarians seem to have noticed that the government is paying women large subsidies to dump their husbands when the excitement wears off. Now the Republicans are blindly moving to pump up these subsidies. They seem unaware that this credit is available only to custodial mothers, but not to the fathers who are paying child support. This is just one of at least six divorce incentives in the IRS rules, along with numerous other support programs just for mothers.
Consequently women initiate about three-quarters of all divorces.
