The Romney Plan-$4200 per child

[aygart]

This can, of course, be a real windfall for the frum community.
The basic concept fits well with Democrat priorities, but the way Romney proposes funding it runs counter to them. Some aspects fit conservative pro-family priorities too, but also involve high spending.

Here are some conservative analyses of the plan.

@YitzyS‘s kids’ dentist is really excited about this plan, he’d be set for life.

I learn from my mistakes.

NVM, OP fixed it himself (the first draft had all the URLs joined).

I learn from my mistakes.

But do your kids learn from your mistakes too?

Not trying to be gloomy, but if they keep giving out free money, I won't have a dentist anymore. Why should anyone work if you can stay home and have the government pay for everything you need?

When I wrote the post it had line breaks between the links and I never fixed that either. I only changed a spelling mistake.

As Ronald Reagan said, "If my kids don't learn from my mistakes, they wouldn't learn anything at all."





Or something like that.

When I first opened this thread it showed all three URLs conjoined and when I tried to open it NY Times’ site (the first link) couldn’t load the concatenated URL. Maybe it was just my phone, but I doubt it.

That’s the entire plan:

Now instead of yeshiva family's getting food stamps and wic checks to be able to feed their kids every yeshiva is going to take that money straight away.

thats correct  if someone wasnt able to afford tuition this can help them pay tuition

[gozalim]

doesn't he want to cap the number of kids eligble?

[grodnoking]

In most communities I know of if you cant afford it you dont pay (all of) it and your kid can still go to yeshiva.

More like, this is the amount by which tuition will go up for everyone...

Maybe during Moshiach’s times there’ll be universal basic income for Noahides...
