Trump's Plan to Give Money Each Month to Raise Families

Stay-at-Home Parents Could Get a Paycheck Under New Trump Plan — Here are the Details | WLT Report

It’s an excellent idea, but I don’t think it will come to pass. Well, these days it’s impossible to raise a family unless you’re working full time as a trucker or something.

For instance, I’m washing dishes now at a restaurant. It would take 1,500 USD to afford an apartment. I would make only 2000 a month if I worked 2 more days a week, and you can’t even pass a rental application without making 3 times the rent - and having good credit. 🤨

He is bribing people, he is offering money to people so that he can win mid term elections. I think this i morally wrong and politically corrupt. When you promise money for winning elections, that is corruption.

Bribe or not, I don't think they will win.

I think tax credits will probably be how this turns out.

In America? maybe that will change lives, but in Nigeria, that kind money will change everything because it's significant here. But the government grants don't usually solve long-term problems.

In the US, 5,000 was 2,500 in 1995.

It’s a good idea, in theory, but then that is also forcing people to get married who otherwise shouldn’t be married. I’ve been a stay-at-home parent since 2022/2023, mostly because I am very ill with a life altering heart condition. I take care of our daughter and my partner’s 15 year old daughter. I homeschool/hybrid online school both of them. It’s not easy. And, truthfully, I should be getting paid to do that. lol

That's a different thing and it technically isn't a bribe because he isn't offering it to just those who vote. Otherwise every politician who promises to lower taxes or improve some social program is also bribing which is everyone.

However, I think it's dumb, because we already can't pay our bills. As for this initiative, it's nice, but just causes more government dependence which is NOT a good thing. They should work on better things to allow people to be able to succeed on their own.
