Shrillary Proposes $5,000 Handout for Being Born

If you think W spends like a drunken sailor, wait until Hillary Clinton moves back into the White House. Apparently she swiped her latest plan for giving away our money from the leftists at Time magazine. It calls for federal $5,000 payments to every baby who makes it past the abortionist.

Shrillary floated this notion while pandering to the Congressional Black Caucus, where the idea of being given other people's money just for existing predictably resonated. She didn't offer any idea of how much the program would cost (a lot), or how it would be paid for (still more excessive taxation).

According to Shrillary, we don't save because we can't afford to. I wonder why, with government vampires sucking half the blood from our veins so they can buy votes from the unproductive.

Next up on Clinton's welfare checklist - the government will subsidize your breathing! A dollar for every breath you take!

Hillary Clinton would deplete the national treasury to "incentivize" the masses to vote for her. This $5,000 throwaway is another example of Hillary's tricks.

We're already paying women to have babies out of wedlock. If Hildebeast's plan came to fruition, what would become of the $$ if perchance the kid met an untimely death? Would it revert to the parent(s)? If so, that could spur people to kill off the kid just to collect. Assuming the parent deposits $$ into the 'account', what interest would it make if any? There's a lot of potential for corruption here especially when any government implements it.

Putting $5000 into an investment account (one time) would have a negligible impact on funding a child's college education. Unless that investment can collect way, way, WAY in excess of the increse in the cost of college tuition, all they will have at the end of 18 years is the 2007 equivalent of $5000 towards a college education that will cost the 2007 equivalent of $100,000 - $150,000, i.e., squat.


Have you ever seen such a brazen attempt to buy votes?

A most appropriate photograph, DANEgerus. With the hammer & sickle in the background, Hillary the Red raises the fascist salute -- she can only wish that she had as much unrestricted power as her idols, Adolf Hitler, Uncle Joe and Chairman Mao. Seig, Heil! Let's all follow Hillary down into the abyss . . .

Mein Fuehrer (Fuehrer-ette?), right or wrong! Put your brain on hold; don't think; do as the Maximum Leader tells you to do, and you'll be fine; otherwise, you wind up in Ft. Marcy park, dead of an apparent suicide. Obey, obey, obey!!!

i have a theory on this. here goez...

since we know that leftistas typically eat their own children through abortion - we can safely say this is not directed at them.

problem one solved.

we also know that less than fortunate conservative people who do NOT believe in abortion will probably jump at the chance for this opportunity - although many of u.s. know that five-g is not all that much money.

she's a freakin' pander bear - trying to get bleeding-heart conservative votes!

to whom else could she be talking?

think about it.

It's all about getting everyone dependent on the state in some way. It's happened over here. YOu can get a "child trust fund", "child tax credits" and a whole bunch of other things child-related that are supposed to ease the burden of having children. Of course what they really do is tie you up in a web of state aid that can then be removed if you don't dance to the government's tune. The tax credits are particularly pernicious, since they aren't a tax cut and require a large bureaucracy to support their administration. Unfortunately a working family can't survive without them these days because of the amount of tax that they pay.

That's what Hillary wants. It's all part of the web.

So can I get my money retroactively? For my children AND my husband and me? That's $20,000 smackers. I accept all forms of payment, but prefer auto deposit.
