Republicans: No Child Tax Credit Until We Get Another Business Tax Cut

The Biden White House and congressional Democrats are willing to heavily compromise on making the Child Tax Credit permanent, but Republicans are refusing to come to the table. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

“Democrats haven’t gotten any traction so far in their efforts to expand a cash subsidy for parents, a move that would dramatically reduce child poverty.

Adding child tax credit benefits to a year-end spending bill would require significant GOP support, and Republicans seem unenthusiastic.

“The country frankly doesn’t have the time or the money for the partisan, expensive provisions such as child tax credit,” said Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), the top Republican on the House committee that oversees taxes.”

Republicans have never cared for the PEOPLE of the this nation. Their primary concern is keeping the rich happy so the $$$$$ will keep coming in.

But you already knew this.

I’ve been hammering KS’s legislators hard on this, since September. I’ve yet to hear from them, but they hear from me. I preach at them hard, I promise. 😇👿😇
