on $5000 child deduct, and Afghany

first Afghanistan is very slowly transitioning into a CIVIL WAR
right under our auspices and noses
it will eventually become a disaster
with USForces caught in the middle
and in time, we will be viewed as "invading infidels"
the longer we are caught inside Afghany, the greater the likelihood of USA kids being used as target practice
we have had one tribal leader assassinated already
soon more will occur
then we brand certain tribes as "outlaws"
then we patrol and hunt them down
then we have Talibans and splinter groups in opposition
then we are in the middle of civil war

as for $5000 per child, I dont think it would encourage anyone
in fact, most people I know regard their children as an incredible responsibility and expense
they regard themselves as "poor forever"
you dont have any children
every single parent I know complains about enormous expenses
a few talk of the puney IRS deduction
