Michael Ramirez on Hillary Care 2.0
Now, Hillary wants to give $5,000 for EVERY baby.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday that every child born in the United States should get a $5,000 “baby bond” from the government to help pay for future costs of college or buying a home.
Clinton, her party’s front-runner in the 2008 race, made the suggestion during a forum hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus.
“I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time, so that when that young person turns 18 if they have finished high school they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to make that downpayment on their first home,” she said.
The New York senator did not offer any estimate of the total cost of such a program or how she would pay for it. Approximately 4 million babies are born each year in the United States.
As if her Hillary Care 2.0 health care proposal wasn’t budget busting enough. This latest GAFFE continues to highlight how UNREALISTIC she is.
Didn’t Democrat Senator George McGovern running for President in 1972 make a similar proposal?
McGovern’s platform also included an across-the-board, 37% reduction in defense spending over three years [White p. 123]; and a “demogrant” program giving $1,000 to every citizen in America [White p. 125] that was later changed to creating a $6,500 guaranteed minimum income for Americans, and was later dropped from the platform.
And where did that get him? Right, a landslide loss.
Keep it up Hillary – PANDER SOME MORE.
