As far as my opinion on this particular payment goes, I can't say that it's any worse than paying people unemployment when there are businesses out there desperate for workers. It just seems more of the same.
How about if people can't afford kids, they stop having them. Instead of encouraging them to have more kids to get more of our tax money, you hand out birth control. I work hard for my money and don't want my taxes going toward those that want to sit at home and make more babies so they can be supported by the government. I hate this administration so much. 2024 can't get here fast enough.
Biden isn't an idiot. He has dementia. Those that voted for him are the idiots.

No one is banking on this to be able to afford their children. It's less than a week of daycare costs.
I have seen enough medicaid cards to know people have 5-10 kids when they can't afford them. Welfare and this program encourage more babies. They need birth control more than they need more money. Think about the children being brought up with nothing. Joey is doing this for more votes and that's it!
There have always been tax breaks for families with children. Those children will one day wipe your butt when you're too old and decrepit to do it yourself, so the government recognizes the benefits of people reproducing.
It looks like couples making up to $150,000 per year qualify for the full benefit. I'm sure the ones making half that or more can afford their kids and didn't have them in hopes that someone might give them a whopping $300/month for them. If you really think it's a windfall, go have a kid and report back on how far that money goes.
Doesn't matter how "far that money goes". As it is nobodies job but your own to raise your kids. And if you are complaining now how about in fifty years when you have your kids and grandkids taking care of you and those who never had children will have no one to help them unless they can pay for it. Perhaps we need to give each person on Social Security/disaiblity etc an extra 300 a month if they DID NOT have children. And all younger people should get an extra 100 a month since they will never get to have the love of that child. I think most parents would value that at far more then 100 a month.

Probably not the majority of the children that come from generational welfare homes.
I'm confused is this a tax credit or a cash payment? Reduced taxation on low income families makes sense. Cash payments to families that have kids does not.
