The Demise of the Nuclear Family

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, another week has gone by and another week of the press corps leaving aside writing about the greatest long-term issue facing our country, and that is the breakdown of the family, beginning in the 1960s with the most recent Marxist and feminists like Kate Millett, later on a communist by the name of Angela Davis, and later on, Black Lives Matter.

Our country keeps marching toward the end of the nuclear family, and programs ever since that time are clearly designed with this in mind, such as section 42 housing tax credits giving better housing to people who are not married than people who are, healthcare, earned income tax credit of $6,000 to $7,000 a year, TANF cash, and special programs for disabled kids for which only single parents are eligible.

It is time for the press to look at these programs. Frequently, it is costing over $25,000 for young couples to get married rather than to not keep both parents in the house. I ask the press corps to wake up and make this an issue in this year's presidential campaign.
