Heard they planning to do same shit in Russia. Honestly, I don’t think this will work in any country.
With the tariffs that hardly helps.
He should know that you can’t buy that many diapers with $5k.
Unless he doesn’t do his own diaper shopping I guess…
You can’t clothe a baby for a year with $5k? We did it for basically fuck all. Had a load of stuff handed on from other parents, got some stuff from ebay and in sales. The fuck are you dressing the kid in, solid gold? Also how much is this person spending on diapers? There is no way you’re spending $5k on nappies and clothes for a baby in one year, utter lunacy. Not that I agree with anything that Trump does, but this seems like a huge overreaction. I’m not from the US so I don’t know how expensive this stuff is over there, but if it really costs this much to clothe one baby for a year then fuck me and I’m shocked.
5000$ is a lot. In Germany you get only 250€
well, that's
per month until they’re 27 (as long as they’re still in school/university)
plus free healthcare for mother and child
plus free daycare (depending on the state)
plus free schools and universities
…We can all hope once the nazis leave, we too can be a civilized country.
You forgot maternity leave, something the 'mricans don’t know, either.
To add on, seems like the 5k (USD) is a one-time lump sum. Your price quote from Germany is already 3k (EUR) after a year. It only every outscales the 5k.
See. Let’s ping Trump and tell him about it.
Maybe he’ll see the light
Lmao no it doesn’t
Americans aren’t that stupid
Daycare cost $2k a month
Is that for real? That’s more than (many) private schools in Europe.
A 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house in Toronto costs more than a castle in france

It can depend of state to state too. In Oklahoma, our cost of living is considered low but we have a high poverty rate. Our median income per household is 67k, and single income is 35k. Childcare for infants averages around $800 a month
Well to be fair, that’s what it costs in many European countries, too.
That’s why many women don’t work. The cost is basically as high as a low paying or part time job.
That’s why everyone needs free daycare. That will generate a higher GDP for everyone.

I don’t have a full analysis, but at least this source points at 1500 to be the high end of the expensive cities in Germany, with public care as low as 100.
So is 2000 a “normal” value in many areas, or a high end of some?
I have the feeling this is inflated and we just accept.
Thanks for sharing.
I checked for Netherlands and it seems to be easily over 2k a month for fulltime care (172-240 hours).
The thing I wasn’t aware of is the subsidies low income parents receive. Up to 96%. Seems to be a bit lower in practice, but still almost all is covered.
That doesn’t account for high cost areas, and is dependent on income. But the conclusion seems to be that it’s far cheaper than I mentioned for the end consumer.
Wages have not kept up with productivity and GDP increases since the 1970s.
How about making single income middle class families possible again, so you can have one stay at home parent.
Ironically, thats the exact idea behind the whole trade war thing. It has lead to TSMC already accelerating their plans to expand the Arizona microchip fabrication lab, which means… Factory jobs, the thing we used to have in the 70’s.
US economic output is more than adequate to achieve this already, but we choose instead to concentrate the benefits in the hands of a few.
Regarding tarrifs bringing back manufacturing: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/trumps-tariffs-what-is-behind-them-and-will-they-work “but this is very unlikely to work. Manufacturing has changed, with production now spread across multiple countries in so-called ‘global value chains’. Moving whole supply chains back to the US is going to be prohibitively expensive, result in rising consumer prices and make US-produced goods internationally uncompetitive. The model of manufacturing that underpins Trump’s approach simply hasn’t existed for the best part of 40 years, and is not coming back.”
It won’t even cover the cost of giving birth. This is some real “how much could a banana cost” energy.
Also, the cost of giving birth will magically jump up by $5,000 as soon as this passes. It was never a function of how much it cost to actually provide that service.
$8000 if the mother wants to hold her baby after birth
And you wanna take that baby home? Well there’s a few for that.
They’ll need a population boost after Trump deny’s immigrants entrance into America.

$5k in a Roth IRA in the sp500 at birth is the only way that it is worth anything.
Haha, what’s $4k in the sp500 gonna do? I guess having $3k in the sp500 is better than nothing…
monkey paw finger curls You get free healthcare coverage and half minimum wage for each child just for existing. However, you and your child must renounce your citizenship, forfeit your passport, and accept indentured servant status until you can buy back your citizenship after repaying the government child support in full.
Having a kid will cost you much more than 100grand. Giving you 5k to fuck is such an insult.
The type of person who would think 5k for having a kid is a great deal is exactly the type of person conservatives would bitch about having kids and leeching all the other government resources.
Coincidentally, it’s also the exact type of person conservatives want having kids. They make up the majority of prison labor, military fodder, and wage slaves.
They just cut head start, slashed medicade(51% of us babies are born on this program), no medicade no pediatric care for your baby either, cut hud, slashed the department of education, blocked student loan forgiveness, are dismantling the aca preventative care mandate, gutting worker protections, canceling child labor laws, laid off 275,000 workers and destroyed their livelihood and tanked the economy ……yea the birth rate is going to plummet. 5k lol doesn’t even cover a fraction of the utter devastation coming to American families from these moronic policies. Who in their right mind would want to bring a child into this racist sexist tech bro oligarchy?
The Headstart cut hurts a lot. I know people that gone to that when they were little and had nothing but good things to say.
But that is a lot of complicated words, 5k is much easier to make a headline about, and re-elect the same people.
yea the birth rate is going to plummet.
I’m not so sure. Impoverished countries have the highest birth rates. I can imagine the logic of the wealthy 0.001% being “if we make the rest of the country as broke as Somalia, the birth rate will also be as high as Somalia.”
And all to fund tax cuts for the wealthy - who don’t need them.
Are you saying the game of achieving highscores for world’s richest person with ever higher numbers isn’t important? /s
