I also hope they look at the welfare because, of course, our welfare system is almost designed to keep the man out of the family. So many fatherless homes. It's not an accident that [fatherless homes are] happening. It's happening because that's the way our welfare system is built up. And I hope President Trump or Vice President Vance lead the charge and restructure that welfare system so we stop penalizing married couples. Representative Glenn Grossman, Republican of Wisconsin.
