Seems like “free money at birth” (on top of whatever free money is already available to many) would just encourage more “anchor babies”, or those who tend to have children for the purpose of milking the freebies in the system.
You folks don’t get it. The WSJ version is a LOAN. The article alludes to welfare costs. Poor folk don’t invest. Parents? They won’t do it if they’re not doing it now. This would go a long way towards eliminating welfare and just not “as we know it”. Bernie wouldn’t support it and you all know it.
