There was no increase to amount of kids conceived after the "financial help" was redistributed. Prices of child necessities grew after the funding was passed, before first money reached the parents.

And we are surprised? That exactly how the market works.

And, as I said, this will exactly happen in the USA - they will give handouts, necessities will grow and all the handout money will just pass back to billionaires with interest.

That exactly what would happen. I agree.
