KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Daycare cost $2k a monthEnglish6·4 days agoIn Bill Clinton’s defense it was intended for the child, not the parent.
From the article: “I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time,” said Clinton, “so when that young person turns 18 if they have finished high school they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to put that down payment on their first home, or go into business.”
Personally I think the policy is a good idea, especially since it doesn’t encourage unwanted children from a short-term desire for cash. It would be great along with medicare for all, free tuition, a livable minimum wage, government housing for all, UBI…
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Daycare cost $2k a monthEnglish2·4 days agoThat’s the only way anyone would financially benefit from this bill. Infanticide. And only if they do a home birth.
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Daycare cost $2k a monthEnglish81·4 days agoFree daycare and free healthcare for people under 18 are two social services that would only benefit parents. How about free college tuition moving forward?
This is just a sad attempt making an exclusive version of establishment Dem stimulus checks…

America is incredibly lenient when it comes to schooling children. There are numerous private programs, including religious schools and non-religious private schools. Parents can tutor kids at home. Parents can hire anyone to tutor their child. You do not need any certification to be a tutor. You do not need permission from the state to do any part of this.

The Luigi Mangione fanclub need to get together and back a candidate who isn’t ERIC Adams, Cuomo, or any other egotist prick.

I don’t buy this explanation for one second. Someone stood up the these MAGA-looneys and they’re saying this to save face and try to dodge problems in court.

All of these propaganda-pushers had a privileged upbringing. Even JD Vance had grandparents to care for him and give him a stable home. My two cents? I think the pro-natalist leaders are just oblivious.
How might registered Democrats and Democrat-aligned Americans support Hogg in this? Is there a good way to get the message across to DNC leadership that we WANT what Hogg is doing? That Hogg’s plan is better for party in every way?
