Divorce Rate Drops, Drive-Bys Blame “Inequality”

RUSH: This story from BloombergQuint.com. That’s a Bloomberg derivative. Are you ready for this headline?

“Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet.” This is not good. The divorce rate plummeting, according to this piece, is the latest evidence of inequality in America. (interruption) No, no, no. Here’s the last sentence. Let me read it to you: “Fewer divorces, therefore, aren’t only bad news for matrimonial lawyers but a sign of America’s widening chasm of inequality. Marriage is becoming a more durable, but far more exclusive, institution.”

People that get married and don’t get divorced have an unfair advantage over people that do get divorced, and it’s not fair, it’s unequal, and it’s a very, very bad trend. So, just like every variance in the weather is blamed on nonexistent, man-made global warming or climate change, the leftist Drive-Bys are now blaming all things socially on inequality. “Americans under the age of 45 have found a novel way to rebel against their elders: They’re staying married.”

By the way, a little side note to this story is that the children of divorced parents stay married. This is the result of surveys and statistics. It’s not every one. But the vast majority of kids from broken homes or divorced homes, when they get married, they stay married. “New data show that younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on.
