Nothing surprises me, anymore. And, of course, there won't be any catches, such as, that the parents of the child must be legal citizens. Of course not! Sounds like just one more enticement to illegal immigrants, to me. Add that to the anchor baby enticement and all the others already on the books.

You think Kids just pop out--I don't think so. Not sure $500 would be enough for me to "just pop" out a kid. I would say they want more of a bonus than $500. I am sure there is more to this! That wouldn't even keep me in pickles and strawberries for 9 month, yet alone the drugs I would want at birthing- I'm not that much of a naturalist. I don't think many are.
Who ever thought this up must be insane. And I wonder where they think this money will come from. I would like them to explain this to me--is it you play than we pay you and you play again, something is not right there.

$500 isn't nearly enough to justify having a kid on its own. Even if you put the child up for adoption, which is a bad idea, the pregnancy itself will cost a lot more than $500.

I can't see it passing.

edit - I just read an article that said the Republican cosponsor has withdrawn from the Bill citing California's frail economic state. He said that 'over the last 24 hours literally thousands of people have asked me what on earth I could have been thinking...'

Maybe I can Apply for it retroactive, With Interest....

What better way to get your kids to start saving, right after they have been hatched!

What is wrong with helping out your neighbor?
The Gift of Life is a great thing, and maybe one day you will be able to see it. The day you look into tiny eyes for the first time. The day you see that sparkle is the day you will fall on your knees and thanks GOD for what he has given you.

Yeah but you gotta raise the kid. Food, clothes, diapers, day care if you work (which you probably do if you are low-income).
