It's kinda like standing on the deck of a sinking ship. You know you're going to die but you have no choice but to watch it happen

That’s why we need to make all the illegals legal in the BBB bill.

I'm afraid in a couple years we're going to look back at these headlines like they did "Austrian Arch Duke Assassinated"

Tax code is made to restrict you in all ways it can, IRS, Americas Gestapo.
When they find out those parents are now home schooling, actually taking responsibility away from the government for raising their kids they'll cancel that shit faster than a NY second.

That's one of the reasons Manchin voted against it. He doesn't want money handed out to those that don't work. He also wants it capped at $200K for income.
Personally I think $200K is still too high. Unless maybe you have 10 kids. A lot of households can get by at around $100K and can still put money in the bank.

Dependency doesn't build people up.
What I want to know is, out of the people that actively take money from the gov, what percentage of them wind up with meaningful jobs? I bet it's abysmally low.
The goal isn't lifting people out of poverty, otherwise they'd focus on domestic industry and building up business incentives to hire people. The goal is merely to disguise how badly the economy is failing in a money shuffle game to get re-elected.

Worse than that.
The goal *is* the dependency.
Independent people are skeptical. Especially of the motives of powerful people. People who are dependent don't have that luxury.
This article is stupid.
....lawmakers expanded the CTC from $2,000 to as much as $3,600 per child....
That's per year. Nobody is quitting their job because they got an extra 1600 or 3200 dollars. If people want to disagree with it on principle or whatever, I get it. But the claim that millions will quit work because they got an extra 1600 per year (equal to $133 in a month) is laughable at best.
I'm guessing a lot of you here make in excess of $1000 a week or a bit over $4000 a month. You going to go out and quit your job making $4000+ per month because you got an extra $133 per kid? Get fucking real.

It's political theatre regardless. None of these measures accomplishes lasting, meaningful changes for employment for people.
But people will believe is saves lives somehow or whatever. People are stupid a lot of the time, myself being no exception -- just less than most.
People should not be getting ANY "free" money for popping out crotchfruit while not holding a means of income.
They've already demonstrated they cannot take care of a child. If they have a child while unemployed that child should be immediately removed from the dependent's control and placed in a home that can support it, and the dependent person should have to work off the debt accrued for being irresponsible.
Becoming unemployed while you already have children is bad, but recoverable. Having MORE children just to try to milk the system is reprehensible.
Since this government is hell bent on injecting whatever it wants into people's bodies, let's start with infertility drugs for everyone on welfare.

Wait until student loans are gone and college is free.

This article makes zero sense. People are going to quit their jobs to sit home and collect $300 / month? Cmon, thsts ridiculous.

It happened with unemployment and an extra $600/month. We’re still short 5 million jobs off of Trumps high. Where did they go?

No, unemployment was paying $1,100 per WEEK, so essentially $4,400 per MONTH. This child tax credit is an advance on your anticipated refund for next year, and is $300 per MONTH. I don't know of anyone who's quitting their job to stay home for $300 per month. I go home angry if I gross less than $300 per DAY.

My point was more that many have not yet returned back to the workplace after Covid. Now add that $300/month to the student loan repayment non-payment extension and they will continue to stay home. Factor in reduced and/or increased costs in child care and $300/month maybe more than they were betting paying all that in the end. I’ll bet this changes when student loan repayments start again, well if they do. Child care costs have doubled during and after Covid.
