Final thing I'll point out, this is the first, first stop on a long process towards reconciliation and towards the budget that we're eventually going to pass for the current fiscal year. We had a hearing yesterday in which it was pointed out that Right now we have a marriage penalty of about $28,000 per couple that an unmarried couple would have to pay if they become married and have a child. We can no longer continue down the path in which we bribe people. $28,000 a couple in at least one hypothetical to not get married. So hopefully, eventually that'll be taken up. (01:25–01:41)
