DOT says it will tie funding to birth, marriage rates

The agency issued a memo after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy took the reins this week and authorized a series of actions to advance Trump’s agenda.

A new, undated memo from the DOT urges the department to give grant preferences to “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.”

The action comes after the DOT announced that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy — who was confirmed to the position on Wednesday — had authorized a series of actions to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda to “rescind woke policies” and roll back regulations.

Jessica Tillipman, associate dean for government procurement law studies at The George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., said she and her colleagues don’t believe they have ever seen a federal government policy tied to marriage and birth rates, and said it’s not clear how it would be enacted.

Looking at the maps for fertility and marriage, it seems this would mostly favor red states over blue states. How handy.
