Hillary Clinton announced the other day that she wants us to pay every person who pumps out a child on our soil $5000. That way, the new mother can stick it in some government approved investment, and have a nest egg built up when its dime to send the kid to college 18 years later.

People aren't biting. In a poll, the majority don't like the idea.

For those of you who think its a good idea for people who have babies to get $5000 of someone else's money free, you don't have to wait for the government to be the middle man. Go to the bank, take out $5000, and head for the nursery at the nearest hospital. As soon as you see them wheeling a new mother up to have one of her first looks at her new baby, lay the five grand on her and say "Thanks for having a kid."

When you're willing to do that yourself, I'm willing to listen to your reasons why you'd rather have the government arrange the drop off instead.
