GOP resolution says welfare programs ‘discourage marriage’
Several House Republicans introduced a resolution on Wednesday arguing that federal welfare programs discourage marriage and hurt family.
The resolution from Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., noted there are 126 different federal programs aimed at fighting poverty, many of which discourage people from getting married because additional income in the family unit could lead to a loss of benefits.
