Turns out a couple thousand bucks more per year goes a long way for those who need it most.
The American Family Act's proposed reforms to the Child Tax Credit present an opportunity to transform the credit into one that works for all children, not just those whose parents earn enough to qualify. We find that the AFA would move 4 million children out of poverty and cut deep poverty amon

For some strange reason, you left off part of that headline.
"The American Family Act would move 4 million children out of poverty, but continuing to tie the credit to earnings nearly halves that impact"
Other than money, what is the single most frequent reason for the difference between a child being raised in poverty or above the poverty level?
You’re missing the context of this entirely. That is referring to what it was before. The old tax credit had an earnings requirement. This tax credit does not require income to go along with it.
You didn't even read the headline much less comprehend any of that LONG sentence, did you?
I also asked this question but, of course, you ignored that totally, did you not?
Hey idiot you splice two phrases from two different sentences. You completely distorted the context. There is no answer to your question because it’s a stupid false premise.
Thank you for your intelligent response. If you will notice, I did not splice two phrases together, I copied and pasted YOUR source exactly. It doesn't distort the meaning as you did by only posting part of the headline, it makes it much clearer.
Yes, there is a solid, absolute answer to my question and it is no false premise. You know the answer, you just don't anyone else to know the difference. It does tie back strongly to the phrase "You never, ever, reward bad behavior."
Lol you aren’t fooling anyone. You just hoped I hadn’t read this. This is the full CONTEXT:
“The American Family Act's (AFA) proposed reforms to the Child Tax Credit (CTC) present an opportunity to transform the credit into one that works for all children, not just those whose parents earn enough to qualify. We find that the AFA would move 4 million children out of poverty and cut deep poverty among children in half. If the CTC’s credit values were to increase, as they do in the AFA, but with the credit still tied to earnings, this impact would be greatly reduced, and children with the fewest resources would again be left out. Even a less generous hike in the credit value alongside the elimination of the earnings requirement would do more to reduce child poverty than a more generous credit tied to earnings.”
The new law is NOT tied to earnings.
