It’s good because raising a child only costs five grand, as we’re all aware.
This move will be repealed in 2 weeks.
When a black woman applies for it for triplets.
whispers rapidly “Conditions and restrictions apply”
That’ll cover the cost of a child for a whole month.
And for the other 175 months you can just go f yourself because we care about fetuses, we do not care about children
This does not even cover the costs for the birth in hospital.
Poland went trough this a decade ago. First they offered a small bonus after birth. This didn’t impact the birth rate at all. Next they introduced a monthly allowance per child. This also didn’t impact the birth rate at all. Monthly allowance did lower child poverty rates though.
And those that are uneducated or downright stupid will fall for it. Those that aren’t, will continue not to because nobody can afford to have kids and they know 5k doesn’t do shit.
100%. I think I read over the course of life from 0 to 18 years of age it costs about 100K to raise a kid.
Try $300k these days. Double it if you’re in California.
Yeesh I’m fucked.
Nothing like a $5k bonus for accepting a half million liability (at least).
Yeah, the worst part is it’ll just incentivize idiots to breed.
Those are the ones they want
They love the poorly educated.
lol. Like making a rent payment solely from the change found in your couch cushions.
America is cooked if they think this will solve the baby bust. We’re gonna turn into Japan and South Korea in 40 years
“im gonna pay you 5 grand to creampie your wife for the economy”
Cost of raising a middle-income child in the US to age 18 (excludes college/university) is around $375,000 pre-cost increase due to the amazing economic changes. But hey, $5k sure sounds worth it! /s
How about they just stop cutting college aid and we call it even?
What’s with the price of $5,000? First it were these checks, and now this…
Whites only no doubt
I want to say “that’s a pathetic amount” but given how many ads I saw offering “cash in hand” for people to refinance their car loan right around Christmas… I’m not confident Americans will turn this down.
It won’t
