After he rolls this out he'll start pushing to drop the child tax credit arguing, "they already get so much investment up front. They're so greedy."

Fash privileging heteronormativity in order to increase servitude and hasten planetary destruction? Fairly normal in our culture.

Isn’t it like ~$310,000 to raise a kid to 17? That’s, what, 2% of what is needed after the poor child is born? And some woman is going to decide to let a guy nut in her for $5000?
This won't even cover the medical costs to give birth

$5k in a Roth IRA in the sp500 at birth is the only way that it is worth anything.
Haha, what's $4k in the sp500 gonna do? I guess having $3k in the sp500 is better than nothing...

Why only after the baby is born? Is there something significant about the moment of birth or something?
Yeah, clearly an embryo/fetus is a child with rights at the moment of conception (/s), so why wait until after delivery?

With the tariffs that hardly helps.
It's free to give birth here
It's free to also commit murder.
It's the part afterwards that might maybe kinda be the issue.

We had this in Australia for a while, where there was no hospital costs for birth, and almost 20 years ago, so it was a considerable help. The conservatives started claiming people were having babies just to get the money and then spending it on big TV's and other luxuries.
Sounds like classic Conservative projection.

Have 4 kids.
5k is couch money when you have kids. It'll maybe take care of a few months of daycare. Now if you're on gov assistance and make next to nothing? This will be great, but don't expect to get a job or climb out of poverty with 5k. A kid will eat that up super fast.
