Trump administration could give $5,000 bonus to boost birth rate
White House officials are looking at policies to address falling birth rates, the New York Times reported.
You're viewing a single thread.
Once again right wing policies don't match up with what their stated goals are. This won't even cover the hospital bill for delivering the kid, let alone what it costs to raise them.
If the right wing actually wanted to raise birth rates, they'd be offering universal healthcare, at least triple the current minimum wage, free preschool, free college/trade school, substantial paid parental leave for both parents, actual sick time/PTO laws.
Not this insult
I am extremely dubious on these figures, given the cost of child care.
I'm not sure what this comment is responding to.
I was just posting rough numbers to agree with you, but think the figures cited in the article are extremely conservative.
