The right-wing think tank behind Project 2025 is now crafting new policy suggestions, including an incentive for married couples to have more children, according to a report.

Following its controversial 900-page blueprint for President Donald Trump’s second term, the Heritage Foundation is now drafting a new position paper that includes calls for a “Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family,” referring to the program to develop the first nuclear weapons, the Washington Post reported.

The forthcoming paper, titled “We Must Save the American Family,” reportedly urges the government to pour funds into individual families rather than child care programs, like Head Start, according to the Post.

The Heritage Foundation is also urging the president to issue orders that require all proposed policies to “measure their positive or negative impacts on marriage and family.” If a program scores poorly, it should be revamped, according to the Post.

“For family policy to succeed, old orthodoxies must be re-examined and innovative approaches embraced, but more than that, we need to mobilize a nation to meet this moment,” the paper reportedly reads.

    “Hey we cut all your child care funding, raised prices on everything you buy by 40%, and refuse to increase wages. But we need you to have a bunch of kids anyway. Good luck!”

    Literal psychopaths’.

      My take on this based on knowledge of the kinds of pieces of shit these people are and the fact that they specifically don’t want to fund childcare programs:

      They want to pick and choose what families they want having more babies and they’re going to take your tax money and funnel it to those families. Essentially eugenics is probably their end goal.
