A (not so great) idea from Hillary

Original link: Clinton: $5,000 for Every U.S. Baby

Interesting.

"The New York senator did not offer any estimate of the total cost of such a program or how she would pay for it. Approximately 4 million babies are born each year in the United States. "

Quick math: 4,000,000 * 5000 = $20,000,000,000.

Wow, and that doesn't even include the overhead of running the program. Where is all that going to come from?

I'd be willing to bet that this will apply to those babies born to illegal immigrants. Nice.

I have a better idea: let's save $20+ billion dollars or put it toward increasing the $$$ we pay the brave men and women that unselfishly protect this great country.

GOD!!! That's what I hate about democrats!! Instead of fiscal responsibility, they are all about fiscal re-allocation. Where the f*ck do you think that $5,ooo would come from? Our hard work.
If that policy were enacted, how many people do think would start having more babies? Why not get a $5,000 bond per kid along with that welfare check?!? All paid for by OUR taxes.
If she wants Americans to get back to habits of saving for their kids futures, maybe she should encourage more Americans to get off of welfare and social security and get jobs.
By the way, if little Johnny or Jenny each get a $5,000 bond at birth that grows until they can cash it in on their eighteenth birthday, how many do you think would spend it on an education or a house? I'm thinking that it that were to happen, there would be a lot of eighteen year-olds with flashy new cars and clothes still living with mom and dad. Oh yeah, they probably wouldn't have jobs either, so, that would place more burden on me and you to pay for even more vouchers.
FU*K THAT C*NT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
