Former Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich has an Opinion Column in today's Washington Post (via How Appealing) in which he applies an economic analysis to Pres. Bush's recently announced $1.5 billion (heterosexual) marriage initiative based on developing better "interpersonal skills," particularly among poor Americans. The article is a thorough analysis, which boils down to the conclusion that marital status is not the cause of poverty, but to some degree the reverse is true.
