The #ProNatalistangst about America's declining birth rate misses the obvious solution: free #childcare would solve the problem. The oft cited #ChildTaxCredit is a measley US$2,000 per year. That is a laughable amount that would motivate no one.
But for white parents only, right Josh?
Hawley pitches massive increase to child tax credit

VP Kamala Harris wants to help middle and lower-income families by cutting their taxes. She plans to establish tax credits for families with children: $6,000 for families with newborns and $3,600 per child 2 - 5 years of age. #100ReasonsToVoteHarris2024 #YesWeKam #ChildTaxCredit #HarrisWalz2024 #DemCast #YesWeKam2024 #HarrisWalz
CHILD TAX CREDIT
CRAZY OLD MAN STYLE
Mastodon Post
This comes from a CBS News post. It ran this morning on CBS Radio News.
"Trump wants the [child tax] credit to go to all families regardless of income, while Harris would restrict the credit to low and middle-income families only. She would also make the credit "refundable," meaning even parents who don't pay taxes would get the credit in cash."
I hope no one misses that crazy old "Republican" Donald Trump is proposing a Child Tax Credit for the wealthy.
America's Big Loser of the debate desperately wants to say something popular - a characteristic Trump empty promise - but even then, he can't free himself from his instinct to give money and benefits to people who don't need them.

#KamalaHarris’s campaign had a quick response.
“Billionaire-bought Donald #Trump’s ‘plan’ for making #childcare more affordable is to impose a $3,900 #tax hike on #MiddleClass #families,” Harris camp spox Costello said. “The American people deserve a President who will actually cut costs for them, like VP Harris’ plan to bring back a $3,600 #ChildTaxCredit for working families & an expanded $6k tax cut for families w/newborn children.”
A virtual roll call vote occurred earlier this month to get ahead of ballot certification deadlines in Ohio, & while #KamalaHarris is technically already the nominee, the #DNC will have to certify the vote, & #Harris will formally accept the nomination by the end of the week’s events.
Harris & #Walz, along w/key #Democratic leaders, are expected to further lay out their #policy vision, including on their stances on #PriceGouging & expanding the #ChildTaxCredit, which they unveiled last week.

During his interview on #ThisWeek this morning, after it was pointed out to JD #Vance that his call for "parents to pay less in taxes" was just the Dems "#ChildTaxCredit" that #TFG and the #GOP rejected, he argued Republicans SUPPORT the CTC, but "it just wasn't big enough" (so instead: nothing.) 
I hope everyone realizes now that T****/Vance stand for absolutely nothing and have NO principles they won't sell out once it's revealed they now support something they opposed.
@clevelandnews #Vance is not only #weird but he's also #dishonest - he didn't show up because he wants to be able to lie to voters about his position on the #ChildTaxCredit (he opposes it - we all know that).
Republicans are not your friends. Come to think of it, they’re no one’s friends.

Re: #Vance saying "People with children should pay less in #taxes than those w/o children."
Who wants to tell him he just came out in favor of the #Democrats "#ChildTaxCredit" that the #GOP killed? 
#Harris2024
#FFS #JDV #lunacy #childlesscatladiesunite
JD Vance said #people without #children are "more #sociopathic" in newly unearthed #Interview
#Vance says he was calling out "anti-child" Dem policies despite #Democratic #ChildTaxCredit efforts blocked by #GOP
The latest #Vance smear on the #Harris campaign is that she is against the child tax credit.
Despite the #Biden administration overseeing the most effective expansion of the CTC, which gave rise to a historic reduction in childhood poverty -- and VP Harris regularly speaking supportively of it.
Far be it from JD to let facts stand in the way of a good "anti-family" dog whistle.

"The modern #GOP is supposed to be pro-family, pro-tax-cuts and anti-“waste, fraud and abuse.” So why are #Republican #senators trying to tank a bill that is all three?
In January, lawmakers hammered out a kids-and-companies #tax deal: #Congress would extend a few business tax breaks that had recently expired in exchange for expanding the #ChildTaxCredit. The bipartisan compromise turned out to be a very good bill"

Johnson and the #GOP stood only *twice* during the #SotU (once when #Biden praised the late John Lewis and once when Biden spoke of bringing home the American hostages in Gaza.)
It's more notable what they DIDN'T stand for: Fighting #Fentanyl, increased #BorderSecurity, humanitarian aid to #Gaza... even PROPOSED TAX CUTS (like bringing back the #ChildTaxCredit. How do Republicans not applaud a #TaxCut???)
