So much. Anyway, cuppla things: 1. $1000 for a baby is not much, and will not even move the needle on births in the US. Immigration is a MUCH better solution for the US lack of workers. That said, baby bonds are a good idea. 2. The problem with the work requirement for Medicaid is NOT the requirement to work! It is the paperwork needed to, as the Russians said about Soviet paperwork, "prove that you are not a camel."

The baby bonds are the most interesting part of this project, but it's hard to imagine what impact that would really have. Families that can afford to put an extra couple thousand away likely have the means to set those accounts up themselves.
