      The programs you mentioned will encourage the highly educated to have kids. Those who are making the decision not to precisely because of the things you mentioned. Those people will provide their kids with a strong education which makes them less likely to fuel the conservative capitalist shit show.

      By creating a baby lottery, those with lower economic prospects who are less educated and informed will actually have more kids. And under the current economic pressures, those kids will be raised hungry and less informed creating a new army of wage slaves.
