DUMB IDEA OF THE DAY
And the winner is Steve Forbes for playing up this boner:
The Bush Administration says it is pro-family. Allan Carlson of the Family Research Council has made an intriguing proposal that would help to even the playing field a little for young families: “For every new child born to indebted college graduates, the federal government should pay off one-quarter of their outstanding college loan debt up to $5,000 each for a mother and father. This choice would begin removing some of the disincentive toward marriage and childbearing that new graduates now face.”
The White House should run with Carlson’s idea.
Do we really want the government paying people to have babies?
