To recap:
—Cost to have a baby: $33,000
—Cost for annual childcare: $20,000
—Cost of median house: $419,000

Republicans won't raise the living wage, won't raise taxes on billionaires, won't allow a permanent child tax credit, won't enact UBI, won't pay for child pre-k, won't cancel exploitative student debt, and won't build affordable housing.

Their solution to the decrease in birth rates?

Trump wants to give parents $5000 to have a baby.

This isn't just performative—it's offensively stupid.
