The baby boondoggle

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday that every child born in the United States should get a $5,000 "baby bond" from the government to help pay for future costs of college or buying a home." FoxNews.

Hugh Hewitt said today, "Hillary Clinton is not a liberal; she's not a progressive; she is a radical." She's also got a loose screw. First she and other feminists encourage women to abort some 30 million babies in the past 3 decades; now she's going to pay them (the ones whose mothers didn't abort) to have babies? How split brained is that? Where is marriage in this equation? Unmarried women having babies is the primary reason for the poverty of children in the USA. Would this $5,000 be in addition to welfare and WIC? Can the illegal immigrant parents borrow it for legal fees? Would Congress get to borrow it for other uses until the kid is college age--sort of like a pre-social security fund? What if the kid doesn't want to go to college or buy a house? Would a houseboat or travel trailer do?

How many votes will Hillary buy with this ploy?

As the Mr. says, hang on to your money if Hillary gets into office! It's going to get sucked out of your pockets faster than you can make it.

I've heard that James Dobson is talking 3rd party if Rudy is the Republican candidate. He wouldn't be my choice, but as I recall it was unhappy Republicans who got Bill and Hill elected the fist time by going after Ross Perot. He couldn't have done it without them.
