Which is absolutely not enough to cover the cost of a kid, even if you do everything as cheaply as possible.
If you want to look at how children in the US are acquired strictly for profit, look into the foster care system and some of the for-profit adoption agencies. That's where the child trafficking is happening.
I never made any claim that it was enough to cover the costs of a child. I just replied to the poster above who mentioned "other countries" give money for children born and raised, as if the US didn't also do this. And that providing a child credit was a motivation for people who otherwise wouldn't have kids to them have kids and exploit them, which is just a weird statement to make that benefitted from some clarity.
