A Republican on the Ways and Means Committee opposes Democrats' plan for expanded unemployment benefits in part because it reminds him of his loser stepdad who wouldn't work. Intense.
He said his childhood was "marred" by his stepdad's dependence on government.
"At a young age I decided the example set by my stepdad was not the life I wanted and I put myself to work. I worked harder and longer than anyone."

It's new Ways and Means member Kevin Hern from Oklahoma.
Former GOP congressman Ted Yoho used to talk about having been on food stamps as a young adult.
Hern's personal story is little more intense.
