that's all dependent on these new children growing up into those roles. I welcome the promotion for people to have kids and have families. however the government paying for it is not the way. this has the potential to push more people who can't afford children having children, therefore increasing the number of people utilizing tax incentives and social welfare to support these families. government subsidized anything is not sustainable and I'd rather not pay for it. how about we take some of the money from the defense budget and put it towards this? I can get behind that.

Then you actually have no issue with the gov spending money on this and instead have an issue with how the government prioritizes spending money.

Either you’re pro family or you’re not. As I said, pro family policies are pro bitcoin policies, you just sound selfish or ignorant of why IVF is a last resort for people who want families.

I'd rather the government not pay for anything. my issue is with people all of a sudden being on board with government spending. it may be selfish, but it's also ideologically consistent. I'm not sure why you can't be pro-family and also anti-government spending.

If a government doesn’t pay for anything, it would cease to exist.

Governments should spend on things that make their citizenry stronger. Families are precisely the thing governments should be spending money on.

If being an anarchist is your right position, just say so.

a governments job is to pay for defense of the nation and defend it's citizens rights, not to incentivize state-sponsored morals. just because we may agree with what they are pushing now does not mean we will in the future. if the government is the one putting money behind those incentives, that means we are paying for those incentives, whether we like it or not. I'm not pushing for anarchism. I'm just not comfortable with the current DEI and "clean energy" subsidies given out currently because the government wants to incentivize that. to be ideologically consistent, I also oppose the government incentivizing things I agree with because someone else probably disagrees with it but is forced to pay for it.
