This seems to take a sudden leap from a relatively uncontroversial (I'd think) proposition into a political program. I wonder about this bit:

> The price of the average American wedding in 1980 was $10,000. In 2014, the most recent figure I had, was $31,000.

According to a random inflation calculator I checked online $10k in 1980 would be worth almost $30k today. https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=10000&year1=19...
