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 government to help pay for future costs of college or buying a home. Clinton, her party's front-runner in the 2008 race, made the suggestion during a forum hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus

I’m all for it if it were the only money citizens would ever be handed. ;-) Naaah.

Such pikers!! Why not $50,000? No, make it $250,000. Well invested and compounded until they’re 18, they won’t need to go to college, just retire and live the good life. And sing praises to the Clintons and elect Chelsea when the time comes, of course.

As I heard one commentator remark this week on NY state giving driver's licenses to illegals:

I'm just glad we're not giving them cars too

He's not far wrong!

[RockinRight]

Yeah. That’ll stop the wave of illegal immigration.

Somebody PLEASE stop this Marxist bitch from being elected.

"I think it's a wonderful idea," said Rep. Stephanie Stubbs 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?"

So because they already "owe" $27,000 on account of government spending, that is reason to let them "come get" another $5,000 of government spending? Huh?

"until their 18" - The AP maintaining "they're" usual standards. Maybe Devlin Barrett needs $5,000 to get hisself eddycated?

*Assuming* were only talking about legal births (and not those born to illegals) were talking a 20 Billion dollar program *per year* without the administrative costs of maintaing the program itself.

Line up ladies; I’m ready to do my part.

Instead of “for college expenses”, they better put it in the Socialized Medical Care Tax fund....so they can pay “their fair share” when they have to pay the slackers’ insurance premiums.....

[Sonora]

That somebody would be you, and me.

Cashable if you don’t go on welfare and are living with the Dad - now that would be a good investment for Washington.

And leaves one with a sore peter. Sorry couldn’t help it.

“government bond?”
Hey, Clinton, that’s not your money to be throwing around!

get your old man to cough up some of those millions he’s been getting for making “speeches” and then maybe just maybe “we can talk.”

geeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz

it never ceases to amaze me how frivolous liberals are with OPM(other people’s money)

[Little_shoe]

Is she going to pay it out of her personal funds?
