Jeez, talk about your Nanny State.

Hillary Clinton has proposed that the Federal Government bank $5,000 for every child born in the US the money—and the accrued interest—to be used to pay for college education.
Clinton: $5,000 for Every U.S. Baby

And this at a time when the Democratic Party is decrying the national deficit/debt, proposing Universal Health Care, and not dealing with a Social Security system that is on the verge of failing.

She’s previously on record as saying she intends to take money from the “wealthy” (and to her that’s about anyone who has a full time job) to redistribute to those who are in the bottom third. Is there any question of how she intends to pay for this little program? And do you truly believe it would go to every child? Or, much more likely, would there be a “needs” provision attached that would prevent children from “wealthy” families from collecting?

Plus, just think of how this would look to those who currently sneak across our borders illegally to birth anchor babies. Babies, which by current law, are automatically US citizens. What more incentive would the parents want?

Bread and circuses. The woman is, quite simply, horrible.

Yeah, I'm sure she was merely playing to her audience. I mean she's supposed to be a smart person and has got to know that there is no way in hell either this or the "universal health care" program she is planning will pass. On cost alone either of them would bankrupt the US.
