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!

"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.

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.....

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

“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)
