Which political party Incentivized being a single mother with government welfare benefits?

Democratic administrations expanded welfare programs like AFDC (1935 under FDR, greatly enlarged in LBJ’s Great Society) that delivered cash benefits primarily to single mothers. Benefit rules often reduced or ended aid if a father lived in the home, creating a financial disincentive for marriage. Critics from Moynihan onward documented the resulting rise in single motherhood and family breakdown. The 1996 reform under Clinton replaced AFDC with TANF to counter this.

Taxpayers funding both disasters while politicians point fingers across the map.
