This one really bothers me! Trump and Vance are promoting a plan to pay an “at home married parent” who has children and remains home to care for them. The initial rate suggested is $9,000 per year per child.

Crazy! We are already $40 trillion in debt. We cannot afford to pay our citizens to have sex. Guaranteed the birth rate would increase should the plan go into effect.

I have thought this out. Do I disapprove because I am 91 years old and incapable of producing children? No. The plan will merely increase married sex and the U.S. debt.

Are Trump and Vance pushing the idea because of the med term elections and the 2028 Presidential election? Could be. I did a little research. Even Secretary of State Rubio was for  a pay for kids plan for the married when he was Senator.

We cannot afford all the military equipment we need at the moment. Yet we will pay a married couple to enjoy a few extra sex pops to make sure the wife gets pregnant so they will receive the annual monies. A sex for money scheme to garner votes from my perspective.

If I am not viewing the scenario properly, write and tell me.

Storks deliver babies. Where most of us first learned where babies came from. The story has been around for hundreds of years. We all said it to our children and we all learned from our parents that was where babies came from.

I recall when my father told me for real how babies were made. My mother was pregnant with my sister at the time. My father was embarrassed telling me the real way and was stumbling around. I was 9 years old and already knew. I did not tell my father I knew. I did not want to embarrass him further.

My left foot has been swollen and causing me big time pain since Thursday. Spoke with Dr. Norris yesterday. Advised me to elevate my foot. I have since. Even all night. Swelling down. Pain less, but still significant.

Enjoy your Buffett time! Enjoy your day!
