“Gee, since every baby born in the US is a citizen, does this mean that Anchor Babies of illegal aliens would also qualify for the $5K?”
Yup. So if she wins and this passes, look for illegal immigration to increase.
Boy,we’ve come a long way from McGovern’s $1,000 gimmick. Inflation, I guess.
The environmental groups should protest.
Why not just give each child when they turn 18 years, starting from now, $12,500! Available as soon as they verify by some document or other their date of birth. Today, that would be a cheap new car, or a down payment on a Mustang, whatever the receipient wanted to spend it on.
Obviously giving an immediate $12,500 instead of $5000 would balloon the cost from $20 Billion to $50 Billion or so. But hey, it's for the children, right?
And what the hell, it's just government money, after all! Not like it would come out of your pockets, or anything!
Can you imagine the “Coming of Age Parties”?
Can you imagine the “Coming of Age Parties”?
It will buy a hell of a lot more than $0.00 now won’t it?
ballplayer seems to get it. (#36) “How can the witch be in favor of this when she is not for privatization of social security.”
This was my point. The two are not really much different. But I believe if you did the math, Hillary’s idea would have a more positive long term impact on the economy.
As I said, it is worth looking at closer. And believe me, I NEVER thought I would EVER agree with “the witch”.
Let the economists examine the options. I have said for years that this government does the same crap over and over and never quite gets it just right. Lets look at something new. Like this or SS privatization again.
I always get a little resentful when politicians try to buy our votes with our own money.
Student: What is the bill for the semester?
Registrar: Well oddly enough the cost per semester recently went up $20,000.
“Hillary said she’d like to spend $20 billion each year on checks to newborn infants”
Considering her fixation on robbing from those who have earned and giving to those who have not earned...and the resultant sacrifice...and her knee-jerk support of Planned Parenthood and her occultic religiousness,
This would be the Infant Sacrifice Act.
My point was, this pandering witch seems to think we are all stoopid! Doesn't she understand that, we the unwashed hicks, pretty much know where the gov't gets its money and who will do the paying? Sheesh! (Not you, hophead. Hillary!).
The late Senator Everett Dirksen said way back in the 1960's "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you are talking about real money".
Yo Hillary! Twenty billion is real money!
Don, another good thing about Hillary’s $5000 give away plan is that the more money that goes to ‘the people’ the less they can spend on useless things. I would rather have it go the the people than to build a ‘bridge to nowhere’.
