My opening paragraph isn’t misleading. I made it clear that I am speaking of childless people now having to absorb even more of the expenses of other people with children.
I’m alarmed that the answer to #3 is yes. That means that the women without jobs living in the subsidized townhouse community near me, many with four or five children, are getting:
1) Townhouses to rent at a fraction of the cost
2) Food Stamps
3) EBT cards
4) Free medical care
5j Free education
6) Reduced utility bills
7) Free bus transportation
....and now, and extra $1200 to $1500 in spending money every month.
It’s been estimated that welfare recipients receive benefits equivalent to a $29,000 salary. Now add in the $20,000 or so they’ll get in “child handouts” - and they’re practically at a $50,000 salary.
Don't forget monthly Child Support payments from their 4-5 different "baby daddies"

People should be able to afford children before having them. Yes, there should be some assistance for those with children that lost their job due to the pandemic. Giving out money to those with children whether they need it or not, just like the stimulus money, is simply buying votes.

I was directly responding to a poster who asked about the monthly child support payments
Coming from the same side of the aisle that wants to restrict abortions. You want all the babies to be born and then live in abject poverty with a mother they don't see because she's working three jobs?
Exactly. Also, the same folks that say Democrats are anti-middle/working class and anti-family are now crying over something that is aimed at helping middle/working class families.
