This comment by Lars Fischer on the post The New Politics of Marriage
Even if we believe that “household economies of scale” reduce poverty, offering more resources to children if parents live together, that’s not a result of “marriage”. It’s a result of cohabiting. There’s no efficiency gains in being married – in economic terms, it’s just a piece of paper. There *is* efficiency gains in living together.

Question of the day:
Should our tax dollars/system be used to subsidies stable cohabitation arrangements for families and children regardless of marriage?
