The most striking proposals were for the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans; the “first-ever” ban on price gouging for groceries and food; a cap on prescription drug costs; a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers; and a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.

    Not my point. I’m not comfortable with people who cannot manage their own lives to have children and those are the type that would benefit the most from 6k unfortunately.

    Support the children as need dictates not by some arbitrary amount given to everyone rather than those that actually need it. I feel the same way about college though basically wealth based tuition. Can’t afford it but meet every other qualification then it should be a token rate or free, if you can afford it then you pay more to help the less fortunate.

    The real solution is effective education but that seems a pipe dream at the moment unless someone like NileRed gets a prime time show like Bill Nye to pump everyone up about science.
