A-ha!

How is it eugenics if you’re just not paying for someone’s kids who can’t afford them? Eugenics is about trying to control who reproduces to achieve specific genetics. This is simply about making things fair for everyone, spending money where it makes sense, and not wasting money where it doesn’t. No genetics involved.

As for the claim that it’s “classist.” The point of this is to correct class inequity. Currently the poor and extremely wealthy have lots of kids. Today things are not really fair, and the middle classes are not having kids. Frankly, by keeping the bar at middle- or upper-middle class, the bar is set so everyone can achieve it; even the poorest mildly intelligent and determined person can work their way to that point. But not if they’re having kids they can’t afford too early and forcing us to pay for them.
