    What are the odds this is just Clinton’s $5,000 Baby Bond, which was just giving them a fund at birth that they can cash out when they turn 18?

    Except this time there’s no guardrails and he can give it to all his cryptobro friends.

    Trade:

    • One person’s wages

    For:

    • Mortgage payments on a reasonably sized house
    • All bills
    • Food for two adults plus children
    • Entertainment

    Then you might see more babies.

    It was their greed that caused this.

    Daycare is free where I live. It has to be. You can’t expect people to pay for public services themselves; that’s done with taxes. Corporations can’t have customers or employees without people, and to get people to make more people, you have to make it easier for them. So what makes the most sense is cutting corporation porfits, which they don’t need past a limit if they aren’t investing in things that will benefit the public. So if a corporation isn’t doing anything good, raise their taxes, use them to pay for daycare.

      You mean, they’re using irrelevant and unrelated content in the message for shock value?

      Impossible.

    So conservatives want smaller government and less taxes but they’re totally fine with their tax dollars being used to bribe women to give birth?

    So they’re stupid?

      They won’t call them Aryan, but it will be the same shit. They’ll call it something like Christian babies or some nonsense; then use that as a smokescreen for their racism.

    This wouldn’t even cover the hospital bill for most people lol.

    And since hospitals know moms will be getting an extra 5k they will just add that into the cost somehow. /s

    Ah yes, the conservatives plan to boost the birth rate has finally come to bear a rotten fruit:

    • People can’t afford to have kids
    • People can’t afford to feed kids
    • People can’t afford to shelter kids
    • Therefore they won’t have able bodied kids to keep the retirement and tax doles fulfilled
    • Nor will they have able bodied soldiers for war

    But they’re boosting the birth rate! (they aren’t, actually, the rate will be even more in decline since the replacement rate in the US was held up by immigration like in most countries, and dumbfuck’s actions have brought a stop to that).
