This is such a classic fascist play, get your bingo cards out ladies

That looks more like 50k, 5k can easily go in pants pockets.

I mean I like the direction, but this is far cry from other countries.

Give us UHC, improve working rights, guaranteed housing for parents, daycare.

But Its good they at least bringing it up.

5000 for diapers and clothes in the first (or any) year? How?

The government giving people stuff they didn't earn? Sounds kind of progressive. Is that really the image pure fucking evil vile narcissistic scum really want?

This is a great summary of exactly why I won't have kids. I don't want to spend all my waking hours working so a billionaire can afford a private island.

The USA should copy the Swedish maternity leave.

I sometimes joke with my kids and call them Lamborghini 1 and 2, because that's how much money it was suggested you would need for each kid, and I'm sure that has doubled or tripled by now.

Why would this in particular be important to him? I would think he wouldn't care

Guess, in no particular order, could be all these or none of these:

Someone told him about runaway population decline now being taken seriously in SK and Japan, we're not quite in the unrecoverable zone yet. https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20250404-south-korea-is-over

5000/child is enough to get a rural wageslave to bolster their numbers and create the next generation of right-wing voters, but not enough to get left-wing educated people who can make reasonable guesses 9 months into the future.

5000 per child is cheap and it's enough to gain him popularity where he's just starting to weaken.
