Pro-child tax credit Matt Bruenig is not happy with Biden’s sign up site. (One upshot is they’re obviously not going to ‘cut child poverty by half,’ as promised.) https://t.co/XazfiOPae9

Grocery store manager: “We’re going to have 3 carts left.”
Me to cashier: “Do your carts get stolen?”
Cashier: “Everything outside gets stolen.”This is in Beverly Hills. Imagine what it’s like in other parts of town.

Note Biden makes a point of saying that “EVERY WORKING FAMILY IS ELIGIBLE”–a good way to avoid saying that NON-WORKING FAMILIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE. The latter is the point for Dems. We already have a Child Tax Credit for *working* families. Biden could have just made it bigger. https://t.co/aXeEJHfwn3 https://t.co/Etxj3T9RTW

Cotton seems aware of the danger, at least in general terms: On Ellis’ podcast, he says: “Of course we want to give a helping hand and a hand up to people who have fallen on their luck, lost their job, have a sick kid, … but people need to work.”

COVID relief is one thing. But the Democrats want to make the ‘child checks’ program permanent. That’s the whole point. (There were plenty of other ways to provide temporary COVID relief, including the $1400 stimulus checks. That’s not what we’re talking about.) https://t.co/G7K6JqEyxo

Happy CHILD TAX CREDIT AWARENESS DAY, when Democrats give Republicans the issue that should give the GOP control of at least the House! It’s a welfare plan-disguised as a “tax credit”-that sends checks to families that don’t work (or try). The opposite of Clinton’s welfare reform https://t.co/yZcilMYXwK
