The most striking proposals were for the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans; the “first-ever” ban on price gouging for groceries and food; a cap on prescription drug costs; a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers; and a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.

    In Taiwan the government gives you something like 300usd a month until your child is 6. Even more if you have more than 1 kid.

    This is how we take care of our citizens.

      Canada has the child tax credit. I don’t have any kids so I’m not sure how much it is, but as a childless Canadian I approve.

            Tax credit? Taiwan literally directly deposit it into your account each month, tax free. No waiting for the end of the year.

            Also, the GDP in America doubles Taiwan and Taiwan gives double what the USA does.
