In reply to the discussion: Trump announces $1,000 government-funded accounts for American babies [View all]slightlv
(6,539 posts)41. Life is cheap in trumps domain.
$1000 is nothing compared with what it takes to birth a child... let alone raise it. But I'll bet groups like Quiverfull are salivating over the thought. People should start suing the government for death dismemberment and pain and suffering to the mother of an unwanted child, or when the pregnancy goes wrong as well as lifetime payments for disabled children born since RvW was nullified. Make the life of the living breathing mother worth more than a clump of non sentient cells.

$1k?! What a fucking joke. That isn't NEARLY enough to justify bringing new life into a rapidly collapsing country

On the bright side, it is planned to end before 2029, so maybe he won't be a three-term dictator.

Does tax deferred mean what I think it means? That like IRAs you have to pay tax when the money is withdrawn?
