If U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has his way, all of the 12,700 babies expected to be born in Central New York next year will receive a $500 bonus from the federal government.

Chuckie is SUCH a boob.

I just LOVE New York.

Well, the Chinese aren’t buying our debt anymore. Might as well borrow some more at our kid’s expense.

[Venturer]

Has Chuck the Scmuck given any thought to what that would cost?

[DennisR]

Just another insane liberal.

Thanks, New Yorkers, for foisting this idiot on the rest of the country. I guess it shows what goes on between your ears - which apparently is not much.

[BerniesFriend]

you just can’t give babies $500 for being born..they will just spend it on cigarettes and booze..

[Woebama]

I wouldn’t mind an additional $500 deduction for all children. It’s called a tax cut.

[Rebelbase]

I don’t know nuthin’ bout birthing babies ‘cept they worth five hundred dollars.

[LRS]

I wish someone would offer a Sasquatch $500 to give Chuckie a major wedgie...

[Sacajaweau]

I’m sure there is a catch which will be added to the proposal....like you gotta be on welfare...because I’m sure there are more than 12,700 babaies born in NY each year.

[Tai_Chung]

Maybe he meant to say “aborted” not “born”.

[MortMan]

Wanted dead or alive?

[xcamel]

So what.. each and every baby born in NY arrives owing about $66,000 to the state and feds based on future debts. $500 is nothing.

I have a better idea for Senator Schlemiel. I am almost 77 years old and live in New York. The future lies in giving those who die a $500 bonus for getting off the government dole...no more social security payments, Medicare, Medicaid, Senior Discounts. The soon-to-be-dead seniors could bequeath the $500 to their heirs with the condition that no services be held in the Staples Center at government expense.

I left New York 29 years ago, but, like all New Yorkers, I retain a certain amount of feeling for the old place.

Please tell us about the accomplishments of Senators Cantwell and Murray, especially what they have done to make the country a better place, since you foisted them on us.

Just a paragraph will be fine.

[Jim Noble]

Lawsie, Miz Scarlett - that $500 is Yankee greenbacks!

[DennisR]

Did not vote for either one of them. Their accomplishments are unbelievably slim. My fellow Washingtonians appear to be enamored with them, however.

[tgusa]

I like it!

Stupid, stoopud, stoopid.

A targeted area of central New York for some special Federal benefit!? It’s a State issue, not a Federal issue.

Start the baby mills a goin’.
