Hillary Has Sunk To A New Low

Now she's vaguely trying to buy people's votes.

"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 down payment 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.

Who's going to pay for the extra $20 billion a year Hillary? Couple that with her proposed $110 billion a year universal health care plan, that's $130 billion a year in ADDED costs. This country is already $9 trillion in debt, and Hillary wants to push it higher. Yet, you never hear a reporter call her on her blatantly lying campaign promise.

We all know she's not going to go through with this bullshit idea. There would be too much of an outcry. For example: What about those of us who didn't get the $5k when we were born? Why should we have to pay for someone else to go to college? Why do newborns get to get a leg up on the down payment on a new home when the rest of us lived in a shitty apartment and saved up? Why do newborns get to have less financial pressure about college when I worked a full time job, rode the city bus, and went to college full time? How is that fair to me?

What are your plans for this money when they turn 18? What if they decide to spend the money on weed and the latest Apple laptop instead of college tuition? Something like this is ripe for abuse and Hillary is simply trying to buy dumb people's votes. Everyone on CNN's forums, even Democrats, are talking about "who's going to pay for this".

Oh and I'll bet you diamonds to doughnuts that she'd included illegal immigrants as well.
