I wondered about the $500/child under age 16.
Is the presumption that they stop eating upon reaching age 16, or that they should go out & risk their lives wage slaving for $5/hour?
Guessing the latter. Repuke thinking.
Obviously, they have never seen an adolescent male inhale food. 😳

The Republican policy is that you are on your own upon parturition, actually. They have a special interest group for fetuses due to a fetish.
In fact, pro-life stops upon exit from the womb, as we all clearly see. We non-fetuses don't even get condolences or a nod, so what can one expect?
