“Baby Boom or Bust? Trump’s Bold Birthrate Plan”

vincent Froom Season 1 Episode 20




America’s birthrate is falling fast — and now, Donald Trump has a plan to turn it around. In this hard-hitting episode of Voice of America Hard News, we break down the Trump administration’s new proposals: a $5,000 ‘baby bonus’ for new parents and nationwide menstruation education classes aimed at boosting “family readiness.” But can government incentives really solve deep economic, cultural, and personal challenges? We explore why birthrates are dropping, how other countries are tackling the crisis, and whether America’s future can — or should — be engineered from Washington. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into one of the most personal and political battles of our time.
