The New York senator did not offer an estimate of the total cost of such a program or how she would pay for it. About 4 million babies are born each year in the United States.Okay. I can multiply. So I will estimate the cost. 4 million babies times 5000 dollars. 20 billion! But don't forget we will need a Bureau of Baby Bonds to manage this boondoggle. So double my estimate and bring it to 40 billion. Hmm. How can we pay for it? I know - a tax on babies!
