Money is a tool which is used to aquire the things we need. Simply handing them the money allows them to aquire the things they want rather than the things they need.Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish you feed him for a life time, give a man money for fish, he'll blow it on hookers and booze.
No wonder you think this is a good idea, you're ignorant of human nature and how humans exploit systems like this. This incentive will encourage people to have babies for the free money. You don't think so? Then I suggest you crawl out of the cave you're living in and take a look at the real world.
Exploitation based off of human greed:

Where the **** are we going to get the money?
These idea's are good; but I think the economy and the dollar should be stabalized first before putting another ridiculous strain on US Citizens.

Nah, you're just being naive.
Originally posted by UshgarakAnd you think that people won't find a way to exploit the system? 🙄
Again. It would not just be a blank cheque. You wouldn't be able to use it except for the purposes it is designed for.

Unfortunately, when people are wrong, they ignore spot-on responces like yours earlier in the thread.

Why do people post that when they can't think of something worth replying with?
Your post was challenged quite well, and in response you attempted a mindless attack with more than a bit of evident hostility.
dur Your post was inane
nonefist There was an evident level of hostility.
There for:
dur+nonefist=durfist
Large egos ftw!

(and I mention large egos based on your assumption that the silie was meaningless)
