Will the trust funds in any way be tied to the IQ of the baby or the parents?

If yes, will the lower IQ recipients get more money, or will higher IQ recipients get more money?

In terms of societal efficacy I guess it could be argued either way.

As long as Massachusetts taxpayers are on the hook for 100% of the cost for this insanity, I’m ok with it. Maybe they will wake the F up.

Make it $1 million per parasite. Or maybe $2 million per.

No crackers permitted.

14th amendment again...

Equal treatment under the law. The govt. cannot pick winners and losers of it’s citizenry. Just because you’re common whitey you get discriminated against financially with public funds.

Money to help buy a house? Are they planning on giving them $2 million?

So now we’re going to have “Trust Thugs”. Wait and see what happens when these thugs find out that these politicians have raided their trusts and the money ain’t there.

THe only problem I have with WIC is some of the nonsense rules it imposes. For example Milk is o.k. in one size but not another.

Massachusetts taxpayers are fools. They’ll fall for this in a heartbeat. Probably get on the Chinamayor’s Racist Party list.

This might lower the abortion rate but a lot of kids are going to die young once their sperm and egg donors get their paws on the trust fund.

Not to worry.

Most of it will go into the pockets of the bureaucrats running it.

I didn’t say that any of those programs aren’t useful. And a variation of the same argument is made for each of them.
It’s well known we have the richest poor people in the world.
My point is looking for more ways to dump more money on them is not a productive exercise. For whatever reason, they remain as poor as they were before

Only Leftist, Marxist, Democrats could consider “shrink the racial wealth gap” legitimate.

The "baby bonds" would be an at-birth publicly funded trust fund program for Massachusetts residents, to be used for college, buying a home or starting a business.

Claiming that one is an "aspiring rapper" ought to be good for a cool $50,000!

This will become a new source of funds for the govt. to rob and leave IOUs behind. Just like social security.

Yeah, that’s what they need... ANOTHER reason not to get an education or develop a work ethic.
