Sen. Mitt Romney (R?-UT) has proposed paying people to have children, per The Daily Wire.
The legislation, dubbed the Family Security Act, would provide $350 per month to families with a child under the age of 6, and $250 per month to families with a child under the age of 17.
Talk about pork, this is something a guy who is worried about reelection would propose. It would constitute an enormous income transfer to his Utah constituents, many of whom have large families, averaging around 4 kids per LDS household. I don’t expect his proposal to pass.
