To reverse the devastating trend in zero population growth I recommend that parents receive a 100% federal tax break for the year that a new child is born. This would mean only people that PAY taxes would be eligible. This would be a huge insensitive for couples to have children and. ensures those children wouldn’t be born into families that lack the economic means to provide for them. No federal taxes would result in a new baby boom!

Very good, only it creates a severe loophole where a company might pay you twice as much during baby years and nothing during recovery years so no taxes get paid. I’d still vote for the bill as is, though.
Tax break isn’t going to cover the cost of child-care. In addition, I think that allowing paid federal maternal leave, as well as intermittent leave, would help a lot with removing barriers from having children.
Here is my policy regarding that, can you view it? Federal Paid Maternal Leave, Unpaid Intermittent leave & College flexibility
