[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 247559, member: 9007"] [B]Oh boy...look, more government giveaways!!:laugh: [/B] Hillary says every baby born in the United States (I guess that includes anchor babies) should get [B]$5000.00.[/B] [SIZE=2] [/SIZE] WASHINGTON (AP) - 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[B] government[/B] to help pay for future costs of college or buying a home. [B]I hope this is retroactive!!!:lol:[/B]:lol: Clinton, her party's front-runner in the 2008 race, made the suggestion during a forum hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus. "I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time, so that 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 make that downpayment on their first home," she said. The New York senator did not offer any estimate of the total cost of such a program or how she would pay for it. Approximately 4 million babies are born each year in the United States. [B]A... That would be 20 billion a year..I know we can just raise taxes for the middle class and make sure all the poor, illegal and lazy parents of babies get their fair share!! [/B] Clinton said such an account program would help people get back to the tradition of savings that she remembers as a child, and has become harder to accomplish in the face of rising college and housing costs. [B]Gee..I thought it was harder back in the old days when our parents and grandparents had to walk 20 miles in the snow in bare feet just to get to school...[/B]:wink: One way of building a stronger economy, she said, is "more savings, starting with the so-called baby bonds idea where every person born in this country would be given that kind of account because we want to make an investment in America's young people." She argued that wealthy people "get to have all kinds of tax incentives to save, but most people can't afford to do that." The proposal was met with enthusiastic applause at an event aimed to encourage young people to excel and engage in politics. "I think it's a wonderful idea," said Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, an Ohio Democrat who attended the event and has already endorsed Clinton. "Every child born in the United States today owes $27,000 on the national debt, why not let them come get $5,000 to grow until their 18?" Blake Zeff, a spokesman for the senator's campaign, said a baby bonds program "is not a firm policy proposal but an idea under consideration." Britain launched a similar program in January 2005, handing out vouchers worth hundreds of dollars each to parents with children born after Sept. 1, 2002. [B]After hearing about this I ran out to the store and got some fertiltiy drugs...I'm hoping for sextuplets...A cool $30k...Yeah babies!![/B]:lol::lol: [B]My God and this woman is running for president, What's next..free cars??[/B] [/QUOTE]
