The FULLY REFUNDABLE child tax credit, increase in SNAP benefits and more stimulus checks.
Twenty-one senators — all Democrats — signed a March 30 letter to Mr. Biden in support of recurring stimulus payments, pointing out that the $1,400 payment being distributed by the IRS won't tide people over for long.
The letter from the U.S. senators doesn't specify how large are the payments they are seeking, but a separate effort from Democratic lawmakers in January pushed for $2,000 monthly checks until the pandemic ends. Instead, the American Rescue Plan authorized $1,400 for each eligible adult and dependent.
Families may enjoy more of a tax break in coming years, if Mr. Biden's American Families Plan moves forward. Under that plan, the Child Tax Credit's expansion would last through 2025, giving families an additional four years of bigger tax breaks for children.
Remember, the child tax credit is, thanks to Biden, also given to people that pay no taxes, meaning it is simply a gift.
Democrats are doing everything they can do to create a dependency state. They wanted UBI and they see this as their opportunity. There is absolutely ZERO reason to be providing these checks with so many job openings, but Democrats don't care. The more people dependent on the government, the more power they have. It is really sad that working Democrats don't see they are being taken for a ride by the politicians for which they vote.
