Would that even pay to get the damn baby out of the hospital with insurance?
How about some of that socialism for the rest of us, and not just for breeders and soybean farmers?
Paying desperate people to produce corpo slaves is the furthest thing from socialism.
I was being a bit facetious, but yeah. It's a pretty transparent ploy to get the birth rate up for as little money as possible. God forbid line doesn't go up always and forever, for all eternity.
you clearly haven't met many tankies
Why would this in particular be important to him? I would think he wouldn't care
if the population declines that should make real estate cheaper, and trump and his friends own a ton of real estate
Guess, in no particular order, could be all these or none of these:
Someone told him about runaway population decline now being taken seriously in SK and Japan, we're not quite in the unrecoverable zone yet. https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20250404-south-korea-is-over
5000/child is enough to get a rural wageslave to bolster their numbers and create the next generation of right-wing voters, but not enough to get left-wing educated people who can make reasonable guesses 9 months into the future.

I feel like that's more than $5k in the picture if they're all $20 bills.
Yeah, I counted at least 50 stacks of $20 bills. Usually those stacks are 100 bills each, so over $100k in that pic.
Those stacks aren't 100 dollars each that's for sure... More like 1000... I count at least 47 stacks... So let's round to 50...
Yeah that's 50k, which is definitely more than 5k
50k, [...] is definitely more than 5k
Source?
Look at the picture and count
Seems like fake news. Do you have any studies backing it up? 50k > 5k definitely doesn't sound right.
$5,000 is a lot to those braindead morons who insist that "nobody wants to work" because they're still living comfortably off of a few $1,400 checks from half a decade ago...
