Here’s a great article from the Federalist from 2019.
Hungary has recently implemented a new-and-improved policy to encourage people to have more children: Couples will receive $30,000 if they have three more kids. But this program is probably going to fail at raising Hungary’s birth rate, just like previous programs.
Oh okay bro. That seems a bit strong. I don’t want to put words in these people’s –
Despite the enthusiasm some conservatives such as Tucker Carlson have expressed for it, this policy, like many of Hungary’s other “pro-natal” policies, is Potemkin pronatalism. It won’t increase Hungary’s birth rate.
So this policy won’t increase Hungary’s birth rate flat out. Okay, got it.
The idea that pro-natal policies can’t work is a complete and utter fabrication. It’s similar to how censorship advocates pretend that censorship doesn’t work, sometimes. Frankly, these arguments don’t need to be taken seriously, and while some pro-natal policies are, I’m sure, poorly thought out, they obviously do work.
State support caused single motherhood to bloom. And the billions handed over to the abos goosed their population. But no way can the government support White family creation – no sir.
