The one piece of data my social science colleagues learned that is really instructive is there was a dramatic decline in Hungary after they implemented pro-family policies in the married abortion rate.

What do you mean?

The abortion rate by married women.

Okay.

It dropped by 50%.

What did they do to cause that?

They began incentivizing marriage.

They began incentivizing birth.

One of the proposals we make in our paper, for example, incentivizes both of those.

Somewhat modeled on the Hungary example.

The Hungary example, actually, after a certain number of children...

will eliminate the national tax burden, income tax burden on that married couple.

We don't go quite that far.

But there, in a society that resembles more the pluralism of the United States, there is hopefulness.

So we believe what needs to happen is that Congress should basically plus up the Trump accounts

to include an incentive for marriage, a $2,500 tax credit for men and women who get married by the age of 30.

And then we want to expand the adoption tax credit, which is $17,260 to include natural births for those families.

We still want people to adopt.

If you and your wife decide you want to go adopt a child, there is a $17,000 tax credit.
