I think it all comes back to what I perceive as the "removal of consequences".

Didn't graduate?....no problem. Here's a check.

Have a baby out of wedlock?......no problem. Here's two checks. (one for you and one for the baby. Unless of course you just want to kill the baby, and that's OK too.)

Can't feed your kids?....no problem. Here's a check.

Fried your brain with drugs?....no problem. Here's a check.

Can't afford a phone?....no problem. Here's a phone.

Invested your money poorly?....no problem. Here's a check.

Purchased a home you can't afford?....no problem. Here's a check.

Agreed to a contract your company can't honor?...no problem. Here's a check.

Break the law?....slight problem. Here's a slap on the wrist.

The list goes on and on........

There are natural consequence to all behaviors (poverty, hunger, homelessness, bankruptcy, and yes, even death - gasp, but some are good like wealth, health and prosperity), and this society has decided to remove those natural consequences (both good and bad). Then we shake our heads and wonder why people make poor choices.
