So what's your solution? Let'em starve???
Right. And old people will be forced to eat dog food out of a can and women and children will be hardest-hit.
They're going to starve because the already-bankrupt and broke SoSec system is not handing out monies to families with newborns?
WTH? I had kids without needing SoSec to provide for my family. Hell, I worked two full-time jobs during that time. I survived and did just fine.
The rest of the world already has this. It is coming eventually. You'd better have something better to counter it.
It doesn't matter what the rest of the world has, or doesn't have.
We're broke to the tune of TRILLIONS.
SoSec is bankrupt and is going to be out of funds to be able to pay benefits. "Borrowing" SoSec funds to pay current families of newborns will just speed up it's collapse. Mandating businesses PAY for workers with newborns will just cause more businesses to abandon the hostile business environment that exists here and move overseas.
Socialism only works until it runs out of other people's money.
And that time of reckoning is falling like an anvil from 30,000 feet and will land upon all our heads.
I will grant that the idea of forcing people to be personally responsible is eschewed in an age when government is seen as Santa Claus and god.
