rethink, I think, a lot of the toxicity of the last few years. I think we're going to see, as you see a lot of corporations maybe responding, and that's a different discussion about how they're thinking about you know, DI programs or whatever. But I think you're going to see similar evolution in the arts, right? The kind of songs that people make, the kind of movies that people make.

Not boring stuff that hits you over the head and preaches about the importance of having a family, but what you show as a norm of what's actually beautiful and worthy and desirable in America. I think that culture will reinforce policies that also take away the disincentives for family formation.

That's the real issue. I do think that it's a fact. We need some policy. We need some policy about that. It is a fact that many women make more money from being married to Uncle Sam than being married to a husband, right? So I think that that's not a good incentive structure to set up in the first place.

And I don't blame the people who are receiving those, you know, we're talking about the Great Society, the way welfare has been administered. I think there are actually just financial disincentives for family formation. That's not a problem on the government.

Well, that's a separate debate that we could have. But I think that, you know, that's how do you get corporations to pay people more as you actually have, I believe, a competitive market economy that allows people to get jobs in a growing economy. That's a separate discussion of economic policy.

But even if you're going to have programs of government aid, which most of them I'm skeptical of, but if you're going to have it, Do it in a way that doesn't create a disincentive to pay somebody more in the exact same situation where single mother without a man in the house, single mother married man in the house, this one gets more money than this one.

I don't think that that's a good incentive structure to create. But I'm not going to promise you that the solution is all going to come through policy and the family side. I think through education, policy can deliver the solution.
