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
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
$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...
Why would this in particular be important to him? I would think he wouldn't care
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.
5000 per child is cheap and it's enough to gain him popularity where he's just starting to weaken.
Evangelicals are a big part of his base and hate that there aren't more children in their sunday schools.
The Nazis did it
Child bennefits are pretty common. "Nazi's breathed air" etc...
Trade:
- One person's wages
For:
- Mortgage payments on a reasonably sized house
- All bills
- Food for two adults plus children
- Entertainment
Then you might see more babies.
It was their greed that caused this.
That roughly the total on what was saved with doge.
I get your ribbing. But it's sad if people think they saved anything.
They literally mathematically added way more debt and cut gap.
Yeah we don't need govt workers..who contribute to tax base. Nah...
What are the odds this is just Clinton's $5,000 Baby Bond, which was just giving them a fund at birth that they can cash out when they turn 18?
Except this time there's no guardrails and he can give it to all his cryptobro friends.
They sure do act like it's the 1930s alright...
Daycare is free where I live. It has to be. You can't expect people to pay for public services themselves; that's done with taxes. Corporations can't have customers or employees without people, and to get people to make more people, you have to make it easier for them. So what makes the most sense is cutting corporation porfits, which they don't need past a limit if they aren't investing in things that will benefit the public. So if a corporation isn't doing anything good, raise their taxes, use them to pay for daycare.
60 years ago, wages were sufficient that one partner could be a homemaker even if the other only had a modest job, and they could afford a house and a car. We've only needed daycare as wages have stagnated against the cost of living.
This wouldn't even cover the hospital bill for most people lol.
And since hospitals know moms will be getting an extra 5k they will just add that into the cost somehow. /s
No need to put a /s there
So weird. These are the same imbiciles complaining about welfare babies.
We need to feed the ones we have now
that sounds a lot like communism to me. Damn Commies!
I used to work as a teller at a bank. That bag of money is over 100k.

So conservatives want smaller government and less taxes but they're totally fine with their tax dollars being used to bribe women to give birth?
So they're stupid?
