What is worse, the state of the economy or the state of morals in the US?

These kinds of things have been going on for a long time. it was also once relatively common for a family to marry a girl off at 14-15 to relieve the financial burden of continuing to raise them.
 
Morals are in a worse state as they will not improve while the economy will be fine.

Pknoop is correct in that this sort of stuff is not new, but in the past unless you were local you never would have heard about it.

Many think that morals are stupid to focus on and that government should only focus on money issues.

But I would argue that the state of both are directly connected.

And they would be mostly correct. The problem with the Govt enforcing morals is whose morals do you go by? Should we outlaw divorce since it is immoral to some? Should we outlaw all extramarital sex since some see it as immoral?

Or do we focus our laws on things that harm children like this and let adults be adults as long as they are not harming anyone?

But I would argue that the state of both are directly connected.

There sure seems to a ton of immoral very rich people.
 

Here we learn that a parent dropped their underage daughter off at a hotel with an adult male, and even paid for the room

I'm sure the parents were paid well for that in these hard financial times.

The state of morals is far worse.


IMHO, recovering from the moral decay will take a much longer, harder fight.

The right is completely amoral. Economies ebb and flow, upturns and downturns. So as a society we should be more concerned about the morally bankrupt right. Putting close to 1,000 of these domestic terrorists in prison was a start. But plenty more work to be done.

Progressives constantly emote that we have evolved in the 21st Century. It is part of the propaganda. So, this should not exist. Poverty and hunger should be eliminated now from the millions of pages of theories that Progs have written on it and the War ongoing since the 1960's spending tens of trillions of dollars.
 
So, you are just a run of the mill idiot trained by the same interests that train the leftists to indulge in this very same deflection, then.

Got it.
No. You got it wrong. Just an independent with their own opinions and not some media parrot.

How about you?

I don't disagree that we should have eliminated many of our ills. Greed and the quest for power seems more important.
