Cost of raising a middle-income child in the US to age 18 (excludes college/university) is around $375,000 pre-cost increase due to the amazing economic changes. But hey, $5k sure sounds worth it! /s
How about they just stop cutting college aid and we call it even?
What’s with the price of $5,000? First it were these checks, and now this…
PR testing how much to buy any slice of goodwill.
I’m already raising two young kids, not gonna have another, what are you gonna fucking do for me rape ape?
Do you get the $5,000 bonus even if you immediately put the child up for adoption? For some people, going this route could be more profitable than the pyramid scheme they call their “side hustle”.
Being a surrogate pays a lot more than this pittance.
I didn’t think of that. Good point.
Still, it might be worth considering if you’re (A) an idiot, and (B) keep getting turned down by those picky would-be parents who insist that you don’t smoke or drink while pregnant.
Carrying a fetus to term is extremely hard on the body, not to mention birth.
I’m aware. Nowhere did I say it wasn’t.
Only that if you were going to give birth for money, this is a pathetic amount to do it for.
Easy, friend. I’m agreeing with you.
This move will be repealed in 2 weeks.
When a black woman applies for it for triplets.
whispers rapidly “Conditions and restrictions apply”
I doubt that even covers the cost of drugs for giving birth.
that number needs 2 more zeros
“im gonna pay you 5 grand to creampie your wife for the economy”
*Must be redeemed on alcohol or drugs that makes you horny.
It won’t
Nothing like a $5k bonus for accepting a half million liability (at least).
Yeah, the worst part is it’ll just incentivize idiots to breed.
Those are the ones they want
They love the poorly educated.
I have a modest proposal that might take care of that liability
It’s good because raising a child only costs five grand, as we’re all aware.
That’ll cover the cost of a child for a whole month.
And for the other 175 months you can just go f yourself because we care about fetuses, we do not care about children
And those that are uneducated or downright stupid will fall for it. Those that aren’t, will continue not to because nobody can afford to have kids and they know 5k doesn’t do shit.
100%. I think I read over the course of life from 0 to 18 years of age it costs about 100K to raise a kid.
Try $300k these days. Double it if you’re in California.
Yeesh I’m fucked.
lol. Like making a rent payment solely from the change found in your couch cushions.
