Get rid of income tax
Idk about this have kids cuz u want them not cuz of money
Humanity is dying due to greedy people!
Trump wants more white babies born to boost the numbers. A typical, unsurprising white supremacist move. I mean, call it what it is.
The problem is the economy is so bad and it costs so much just to get by for many people that it'll create further financial strain for anyone who thinks pumping out a baby for $5000 (taxed) is a good idea.
Also, there has to be a consideration taken for the sheer number of drug-addicted, low moral character people who will make a baby just to wait nine months for a $5000 pay-out and end up with a baby they have no intention of caring for properly. It'll just be a lot of children born into impoverished situations, many of which who will take after their no-good parents and repeat the cycle.
Smart people will weigh their options when considering reproduction. They'll consider their financial status, job stability, and not just working to scrape by. This is why most "successful" people that aren't super-rich only one or two children—because they desire to procreate, have the means to do it, and won't be financially buried.
I'm curious to see just how badly a "baby-making incentive pay" system will fail. Because it will fail. Just another modern American social experiment.
Hue-mans will survive but ‘humans’ are on their way out.
Not a good idea. How about 5k for American citizens only .
totally against this. children are precious having them for cash and rewards for bad behavior only puts more kids in jeopardy with parents who don't want them. what about the dad? more sexist inequality
Give free healthcare to all pregnant women and children. That would help way more.
We aren't having kids because it's expensive and they are cutting a lot of the program for children. How about affordable child care and better school programs
The cost of living needs to go down
Division is the problem. How much money you make, race, political, social status.. the gap continues to grow.
More importantly how about help the struggling families that are already struggling to take care of their children!!!
What do you think's going to happen if you offer something like this it's going to be a bunch of people going out just to get the check and then depend on the system after that
We don't need birth rates to go up!! I think we're pretty overpopulated as we speak
Elon Musk is absolutely right. America is indeed holding up Western civilization. If America fails, Western civilization will fall, which will lead to a domino effect that will ruin countries throughout the entire world.
It costs more than $5,000 to have a kid , that wouldn't even cover the hospital cost , they are desperate, white birth rates are down , 20 – 30 years they will be out numbered
Same style as Putin Trumps brother.
If we have the will power..
1) end abortion: dead babies don't replace the population 😢
2) adopt "unwanted" kids. Kinda solves IVF too 😅
3) make it cheaper for people to raise kids: childcare and rent etc. is SUPER expensive, makes folks rethink having children 😅
4) promote stable two gender families: that's how babies are made anyway 😂
I think those are a good start ☺️
Thanks!
It should be $10K but only to married couples. Stay at home, mothers should be glorified, not criticized, and 1 more thing it should be hip to have a family and stay married.
Y’all want women to have babies, take a parenting class! Stop threatening to take away our vote. Stop threatening to end child support and no fault divorce. I love that the birth rate is falling! Changes need to happen!
Women file 75 percent of divorces why would men want to create more kids to be destroyed bye the family court system thank about it.
So which "…people who should have children" and "high quality people" are you talking about amongst citizens?
I’m for family and always will be.
5000 is fine but a better long-term plan is to turn this country around, making God and family and country a top priority. The babies would come.
Pay for communication classes, parenting classes, anger management, help the breadwinner of the family, make it popular to stay married.
This is a bad idea. I have to disagree with Trump on this one. What happened to no tax on tips or overtime?
Everything cost to much…
The white population is roughly 50% of the nation and owns roughly 90% of all stock money 👀 if y’all want to see birth rates increase spread the fucking love
Wait does this incentive towards mothers giving birth include those who are already government dependent who will now consider this a money grab to make babies to collect this and other benifits?😂😂😂 just saying we got some production going on and now a bonus for newborns 😂😂😂 what can I say hahaha
Hitler did the same thing or something like this!
Listen, I may become an "older" mother but I am healthy and able and nobody is going to tell me I'm unfit bc life didn't come together until is was in my mid 30s..Im not a vaccine freak and plenty of healthy women have healthy babies as older moms. Dont even start blaming autism on "older" mothers bc we all know what it actually is, and have seen babies change over night bc of them.
Disagree with this take ABL. Families breaking apart is the reason for "humanity" dying. The birth rate could increase and "humanity" would still die due to it's loss of moral values. Associating the need for money in order to have kids is symbolic of humanity dying. This money/wealth focused system is a relatively new concept and as it's popularity grows in westernized nations birthrate has declined. How can you ignore the fact that birthrate is high in countries where family is important? You also disregarded how in countries where money is important the birthrate is low? But let's make oxymoronic statements to skirt around the real issue and feed into Elon Musk's delusional take. The type of kids Elon is birthing are going to be feed into the therapy system to deal with resentment for their parents. How many baby's do you think Elon's kid X is going to make after being pumped with hormone drugs?
Also, population was much lower than what it is now when the USA was booming with industrial growth; but, because family was more important then the birth rate was high. If we could survive and thrive with a low population in the 50's and 60's we can in the future. But, if population ever was an issue the simple solution would be population redistribution or migration incentives. Why pay baby bonus without knowing if the baby is going to be located or interested in an area that has value?
Dumb idea is dumb because the logic behind it is dumb.
So, I'm supposed to pay some woman for popping out a kid( probably an illegal or life long welfare dependent)?? No one voted for this!! Trump is starting to sound like an IDIOT!
I’m a woman and I’m a mom. This is so tone deaf. $5k doesn’t even my cover my funeral if I pass away in labor or in PP. why have more children for everyone else to raise? Some of us moms like being mothers, but I wouldn’t want to put my kid in daycare like what a lot of moms have to do today. I got lucky with mine everyone doesn’t have my village.
We don’t need education on our cycles😂 we been getting educated since 6th grade catch up! Maybe paid maternal leave like every other developed nation
I’m far from a feminist- but females in nature will purposely not have children if it isn’t safe. That’s a biological instinct and it doesn’t help we are being poisoned on purpose. It’s not safe to have children right now.
The government is here to help? Now I'm scared.
Problem is weak men failing. The system is broken, but any attempt to improve the situation will get push-back from parts of academia.
America needs to put God back in their lives. With God as the foundation, most of the time everything will work out better. Sometimes people still get a divorce, but with God as the foundation you have a much better chance.
Heck no!!! Terrible decision Trump!! Maybe in the context of a legal marriage between two tax paying citizens with at least 5 years of good standing and demonstrating that they already have the assets to care for the child without public assistance. Otherwise… heck no!!!
What about the people that aren't blessed to have kids?
i think 5k a month would be better
thats wasteful spending in my opinion. doge (Elon) should try and sway that decision
WHAT HAPPENED TO 'FREE IVF FOR ALL' ??????????????????????????
Our government and media have been promoting negativity, lies, and immortality for a long time. They used to promote positivity, truth, and morality. Changes in culture used to happen over a long period. Now it happens much more quickly.
First simple fix: reverse the laws that allow opinion to be mixed with news. That would prevent media from lying as much.
Next shoring up election integrity so the liars cannot steal elections outright.
I think the majority of Americans are moral and vote accordingly, but the influences and and election shenanigans have allowed the liars to take power. Trump seems better. But there are also vaccine promotion and hate speech laws he is on board with. Very questionable.
Exorbitant student loan debt is what’s keeping my daughter and her husband from considering children. We tell our children the only way to make it is to get an education and then price them out of procreation.
If you think the hood is crowded now…..
Must also be that the couple are US citizens!!
Incentivizing people to have kids with money will backfire. Higher birth rate is a sign of a healthy society. It cannot be bought. Fox mental health and financial security in the populs and watch the birth rate soar, naturally!
MEANWHILE! EPSTEIN FILES AND 9/11 FILES AND FORT KNOX!!!🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
Married couples only 😂❤
I want 5,000 too. I had my kids 25
Years ago…..
5,000 doesn’t even pay for giving birth to the literal child. I like the thought because children are important, but let it go. This isn’t the world (the country) to put children into.
