This is how you get Idiocracy. The people that would take advantage of this would be the people you don't want to over-breed.
He’s making everything more expensive, gutting medicade to nothing (50% of babies are born on medicade), taking away food stamps, getting rid of the department of education, gutting hud, gutting head start, getting rid of free lunches in schools, sending us into a Great Depression, stripping worker protections and removing any hope for a future….but yeah 5k sure that will cover your first 15 minutes of delivery. What a joke this man is
$5k when having a kid costs $3k in insurance copays with a normal birth and average insurance. So you’re down to $2k before even leaving the hospital. This dude has all the intellectual depth and forethought of a mushroom.
And The 2K is gone pretty quick purely from adding the baby to your insurance. Boo.
Build massive amounts of new housing. Give people paid parental leave, and universal healthcare. Guaranteed baby boom.
I read that as "baby room" and still was not surprised.
Or they could just forgive the student loans haha, they are so stupid.
Australia tried this approach already - https://www.smh.com.au/national/the-baby-bonus-generation-is-starting-to-turn-18-has-it-saved-australia-s-population-20220624-p5awfg.html
Literally cost us $11k in medical bills to have a baby. That doesn't include the cost of actually maintaining it either. $5k is a JOKE
Would that even cover the hospital delivery bill?
not in the slightest. births can be up to 20k, plus if you want to have a healthy birth and healthy mom, all the prenatal stuff too. woman are also likely to have morbidities while pregnant, and can die. i the us has a high maternity mortality than other western countries.
when your pregnants, your body goes out whack, gestational diabetes, hbp, autoimmune diseases.
Not in the USA
That wouldn’t even cover an ambulance ride to the hospital
5k is better than nothing of course but not really enough with all the fees and costs associated. Especially the initial costs that you get from hospitals. Maybe regulate those?
Most of these kids watched their parents struggle to pay the bills and sometimes basic things like food. They think they can overcome that amount of generational experience.
Why can't countries understand quality of life leads to more of those productive babies they really want
None of the developed countries have a replacement birth rate. Higher quality of life has lead to lower birth rate in all cases.
because that requires the people in charge facing hard truths about their own lifestyles.
I'm not American. I thought "$5k/month for sure". Lol.
Guillotine time
Trump has no respect for anything
