Greg Mankiw has some questions about Hillary's baby-bond proposal: "How might this be funded? There are only three groups that could be asked to pay for the new entitlement with higher taxes (or lower benefits): the current elderly, those currently of working age, or the same future generations who are getting the new benefit and are slated to pay for existing unfunded entitlements. Which group do you think Senator Clinton has in mind?" ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE UNBORN? Greg Mankiw has some questions about Hillary’s baby-bond proposal: “How might this be funded?

That really is the whole point, is it not? If you really wanted to fund your daughter's dance lesson you'd find a way, just the same with the cleats. And you could drive to the hospital, could you not? Hillary is a planner in the truest sense of the word her and her ilk can do better than you. You may think you know your needs better than Washington, but you are soooooo wrong. This is great advice however for new grandparents, invest 5K$ in a no-load index mutual fund in your name with the grandchild listed. And don't tell them! What cracks me up is how she can endorse this kind of an investment, but not a plan to save Social Security? Go figure. The only democrat that scares me more is Edwards. I fear populists.
