They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?

9. This is so short-sighted

The only women who would respond to this bribe are women in poverty, probably lacking good health, nutrition or education. I'm sorry if I sound prejudiced, but any desperately poor woman who would agree to have a baby for $5,000 ... well that's not an ideal parent IMHO.

If you REALLY want to appeal to healthy, educated American women to become mothers - offer them a full scholarship to a great American university. Something of lasting value that would change their lives for the better. Uncle Sam could afford it, and women from good American families could hold their heads up and accept the responsibility of raising a healthy family while getting a good education.
