That's not what it is, though!
It's a conditional promise: "
If we have money in five years,
then you'll get a tax break if you have a kid. Maybe. If you haven't forgotten by then."
It's as though you told your wife "we can buy a house five years from now, if we can afford it." It's not really a promise at all, it's just kicking the can down the road.
Hopefully people can see through this. If you can't afford to promise a tax break NOW, then don't promise one at all. Weakest campaign promise ever.
