Anyone that is swayed by $5000 to have a kid probably should not be having a kid

This is completely misguided. It misses the economic difficulties facing American families in favor of an ideological agenda.

Good list. 

But also I’m not upset if they pass the $5k.

just don’t put that baby into college when they turn 18, cause we’re gonna garnish wages till they pay us back.

A lot of people in my generation are not having kids simply because it is not financially feasible to do so. Childcare would be one huge concern off the table.

"A recent report by BabyCenter, a digital parenting resource company that helps support expecting and new parents, found that baby-related expenses now cost parents more than $20,000 in the first year alone, and that doesn’t include birth."

Childcare alone would dramatically change things.

Exactly. Someone that would be swayed by 5k would be in a desperate situation and would see that 5k as a temporary solution. That's not the type of person that should be having a kid at that time.

As someone that had a kid 5 months ago. That 5k would be spent in the first 6 weeks... On medical bills. And we had a pretty straightforward delivery, no c section, no crazy emergencies, just a regular delivery with an epidural. More than 7k out of pocket... And we're still getting random bills. All these things would be much preferable than not even costing birthing costs.

Why not 5k for the kid I already had, and raised without assistance from the government like an adult, since we're giving out money for things that make zero sense.

We have most of these things in Europe and it does help. 
Parental leave is 1-2 years and you choose. Healthcare is 70eur per month (paid by your employer). Public preschool is around 50eur per month.
