The Baby Bond proposal has gotten almost no recognition on the web. Here's a link to one blogger who has commented on Baby Bonds.

The liberal version is "from everyone according to their ability, to everyone according to their need." Or words to that effect.

I'm just curious what part of the Constitution says that the Federal government is required to give people "free" money?

Unfortunately, the people who went to government schools and have no concept of basic economics will go for this because the MSM will play it up as "free money" from your friends in the Democratic party. Never mind it will be paid for by everyone, as Charles mentioned above.

If I did the math correctly, that's 2 billion per year. Add in the $500 bonus at age 10, assume the same birth rate and in year 10, we would be cookin' @ 4 billion per year. Throw in a cost of living adjustment, the interest added on to the national debt, loss of taxes to the treasury and as each 10 year generation gets it's $500 COLA adjusted bonus, we could tack a few more trillion on the national debt in no time - running up interest rates and making everyone a millionaire.

If that's a Centrist political plan, I'd hate to see the liberal version :')
