Just sayin' ermmThere's no guarantee the money given freely would be used positively. Don't be blinded by patriotism, you know drug use is rife in every country. How many babies a year are born in American alone? Remind me.

When a Democrat gets into power in the US, things go right almost automatically. Carter, Clinton, Roosevelt. Everything advanced and got cleaned up. They will have enough money. Especially since they're smart enough to fight a war.
FACT: The economy crashed when Bush was inaugurated.
For that matter, the way I see it--assuming I'm going to be retarded like a certain poster--is that the Republicans were just managing to clean up the problems the Democrats initially caused and then the Democrats took credit for it.
MAKES SENSE 2 ME

in fact it amazes me that people would rather see it invested in a quagmire than have a fraction of it invested in america's youth.
Great quote. There were a few others but I had to bring back this one considering nobody even attempted to try and refute it.
Something as simple as a 5000 dollar investment for each child doesn't seem like a bad idea if its implemented right.
For example, I believe somebody already pointed out that the funds could be reserved for higher education or until the person reaches a certain age. I would say wait until they turn 21 or else make half available at 18 and the other half at 23 or something to that effect.
Also, I think you could expand the uses for those funds for other things like start up costs if they decided to start their own business, or something similar.
I could have really took advantage of something like that would it have been available to me. A plan like this could help young business minded folks feed money back into their local economies. A possible win, win for all.
