In a column remarkably welcoming to Huckabee, David Brooks talks divorce as economic trouble, even devastation:
Democrats talk about wages. But real middle-class families have more to fear economically from divorce than from a free trade pact. A person’s lifetime prospects will be threatened more by single parenting than by outsourcing. Huckabee understands that economic well-being is fused with social and moral well-being, and he talks about the inter-relationship in a way no other candidate has.
“More by single parenting than by outsourcing.” Family values here.
