Heard they planning to do same shit in Russia. Honestly, I don't think this will work in any country.

Lmao no it doesn't
Americans aren't that stupid
With the tariffs that hardly helps.
He should know that you can't buy that many diapers with $5k.
Unless he doesn't do his own diaper shopping I guess...
5000$ is a lot. In Germany you get only 250€
well, that's
per month until they're 27 (as long as they're still in school/university)
plus free healthcare for mother and child
plus free daycare (depending on the state)
plus free schools and universities
...
We can all hope once the nazis leave, we too can be a civilized country.

You forgot maternity leave, something the 'mricans don't know, either.

To add on, seems like the 5k (USD) is a one-time lump sum. Your price quote from Germany is already 3k (EUR) after a year. It only ever outscales the 5k.
See. Let's ping Trump and tell him about it.
Maybe he'll see the light

Daycare cost $2k a month
Is that for real? That's more than (many) private schools in Europe.
A 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house in Toronto costs more than a castle in france

Well to be fair, that's what it costs in many European countries, too.
That's why many women don't work. The cost is basically as high as a low paying or part time job.
That's why everyone needs free daycare. That will generate a higher GDP for everyone.

I don't have a full analysis, but at least this source points at 1500 to be the high end of the expensive cities in Germany, with public care as low as 100.
So is 2000 a "normal" value in many areas, or a high end of some?
I have the feeling this is inflated and we just accept.
Thanks for sharing.
I checked for Netherlands and it seems to be easily over 2k a month for fulltime care (172-240 hours).
The thing I wasn't aware of is the subsidies low income parents receive. Up to 96%. Seems to be a bit lower in practice, but still almost all is covered.
That doesn't account for high cost areas, and is dependent on income. But the conclusion seems to be that it's far cheaper than I mentioned for the end consumer.

It can depend of state to state too. In Oklahoma, our cost of living is considered low but we have a high poverty rate. Our median income per household is 67k, and single income is 35k. Childcare for infants averages around $800 a month

They'll need a population boost after Trump deny's immigrants entrance into America.
$5k in a Roth IRA in the sp500 at birth is the only way that it is worth anything.
Haha, what's $4k in the sp500 gonna do? I guess having $3k in the sp500 is better than nothing...

Wages have not kept up with productivity and GDP increases since the 1970s.
How about making single income middle class families possible again, so you can have one stay at home parent.
It won't even cover the cost of giving birth. This is some real "how much could a banana cost" energy.
Also, the cost of giving birth will magically jump up by $5,000 as soon as this passes. It was never a function of how much it cost to actually provide that service.
$8000 if the mother wants to hold her baby after birth
And you wanna take that baby home? Well there's a few for that.
monkey paw finger curls You get free healthcare coverage and half minimum wage for each child just for existing. However, you and your child must renounce your citizenship, forfeit your passport, and accept indentured servant status until you can buy back your citizenship after repaying the government child support in full.
