They want to use the Labor Department to implement rules that will encourage people to stay home if they need to, to pay people to stay home. caring for children, presumably mothers or grandmothers, and to encourage people to be able to do work and support a family on a single income. A lot of this comes through the Department of Health and Human Services, which they'd like to use to ban abortion.

They'd also like to use things like temporary assistance for needy families, which is welfare in common parlance, to encourage marriage, to encourage abstinence, and to incentivize people to get married in order to get better benefits.

Right. The education department can mandate local school boards to report certain data. And so they want to orient so much of the data that the federal government is taking in around family structure. Again, that's not just education, but also the way the labor department approaches their things. So that they can gather this data and make a case.

They also want to do more research that encourages marriage, that encourages biblically-based family structure, they say. And they're interested in using all of these welfare programs then once you have the data to push people in that direction.

You know, some of it is making more generous benefits and also making it harder to acquire benefits. So, for example, you have Ben Carson, the former Republican presidential candidate and secretary of housing and urban development. saying that housing assistance has tended to push people towards multifamily living, and it's tended to encourage a culture of dependency.

And so what they want to do is pull back on those benefits to encourage people to live in other situations that they think will lead to more stability and lead to better outcomes.

Right. And this is in some ways connected to the kind of faith-based push that we saw in the Bush administration. I think what sets it aside is both the scale, the way they want to use so many different departments of the government to do this, and the way they're willing to use a kind of coercive force of government in a way that conservatives in the past have found unacceptable.
