A “baby bonds” bill to give up to $46,215 of taxpayer money to every baby born as a “birthright” is being pushed by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Ayanna (D-Mass.).
The bill, formally known as The American Opportunity Accounts Act, failed when introduced in Congress last year. Under the bill, the Treasury Department funds and manages savings accounts for every child born, with poorer families getting more money than more prosperous ones, Yahoo! Finance reports:
The liberal/socialist mantra has always, and will forever be, vote for us because we’re going to give you all this free stuff.
The message is never “be a good citizen, work hard, study hard, always seek to improve your life conditions, stay away from drugs, be free and independent, and don’t always expect the government to help you or bail you out of trouble”.
The socialist message is killing us.
Fookers just love giving other people’s money away, don’t they?
This is brilliant. With a program like this, handled by the right people, we can have the national debt paid down in no time.
Sure they’ll handle it. Just like they’ve been handling all the money I put into SS over the decades.
Some might remember the term: Lock Box.
“cough” ….Al Gore….
Illegals with anchor babies and imported Muslims are going to make out like bandits on this one.
Probably because they are bandits.
How about the child’s parents buy a damn savings bond (do they still even sell those?) instead of buying lottery tickets, malt liquor and cigarettes?
Hey Lar, Who are the “right people” you would recommend?
I know if I was a Democrat, I’d volunteer for that giveaway. Democrats are like that. They know if they set up a gov’t giveaway, there’s always the opportunity to hit the jackpot. Kinda like when the Clintons disbursed all those millions in Haiti, right?
Yeah, Social Security comes to mind. If it had been run as an investment instead of a personal piggy bank………
When the kid reaches 18 years old to claim it, there will be $4.62 in it, due to “Handling Charges”.
Irate Nate…ad tattoos, weed and meth to the list.
Proof that Africans are not only stupid but evil socialists too boot!

ain’t nothing that is really free, other than the love of God, that is

Corey Buggar is a real moron!
Why not round up to $50,000?
That, along with minimum wage of $15 to $20 an hour should result in prosperity for all.
If you run out of that Booger money, just print more.
JFK would be thrown out of today’s democrat party.
New version: “ask not what can I do for the country or for anyone, ask what those rich white honkies can do for me when the government takes away all their money.”
Government needs to be handcuffed in order to keep their hands out of our pockets.
What next, savings accounts for our pets?
