Rescue Plan Coordinator: Child Tax Credit Will Be A 'Major Weapon'
Why is pulling our children out of poverty a partisan issue?
@Friend It’s called common sense numbnut$, why don’t you go getchu some?
@Friend Coming from the channel that talks about race 100% of the time in order to make things worse. Then they only talked about covid and scared all you liberals into your homes for a year straight. Notice how only liberals are worried about the virus? Not a coincidence. Good luck in the absolute garbage thing you call “India”. Poor thing.
@No Show Joe You’re on the same channel, genius. You’ve got no argument.
Republicans think we should keep the 14% corporate tax cut for the very profitable multinational corporations. Besos, trump and all the ultra rich do not want to give up the trillions that went into their pockets but skyrocketed our federal deficit.
Children first
It seems children only matter to “con-servatives before they are breathing air.
THESE DAYS IF YOU’RE NOT SPENDING TO RECOVER,THEN STOP SPENDING!!
Bitcoin holders are termed to be one of the richest people in few great to come..invest

@Micheal Riggs And the stock market dives than what your screwed.
M4A ?
Supreme., PLEASE LINK WHERE A FATHER CAN GO TO OBTAIN THE CURRENT EXPANDED CHILD TAX CREDIT! Match talk with useful INFO, please.
If you’ve filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service, you will get this tax relief automatically. You do not need to sign up or take any action.
No Republican will allow this to go on, taxes are collected to administer government anything left must be funneled to the rich.
My prediction: The GOP will claim credit for this ex post facto, after opposing it and not voting for it. The GOP will go further and claim Democrats wanted to prevent it but the GOP made sure it was passed. And their voters will believe that.
Checks like this shouldn’t only go out for families with children. There are millions of Americans still struggling to return to the jobs market, and receive pay that is indicative of a living wage to support themselves. A federal Minimum wage increase needs this much energy, efforts and attention that this gets.
What about the millions of jobless, for various reason, but childless & homeless adults living on the streets? What about the retirees struggling to make it on poverty level SS checks after working until age 63? Why is the US rewarding young adults that reproduce & are able to work? I could understand elderly with children, but they already get head of household credits. Why no credits or checks for the childless, single, elderly? My neighbor has 4 kids, ages 4-7 & they both have good paying jobs & are back to work & just bought a boat & camper. I’m a childless senior that can’t make ends meet on my SS. If they can’t afford the kids, do not create them.
A public servant (appointed, maybe) working for the American people.
Refreshing.
Naturally he’s a Democrat.
And? What’s your point
wish we had someone like this in the UK, but all we got is PM Boris Trump.
@gugo Edmund A Republican like you is only in it for the grift.
A child tax credit has nothing to do with infrastructure. You want to extend a credit, that only goes to people with children, do it in another bill. It does not belong in any infrastructure bill.
It was already passed in the last bill.
Stephanie really likes what she’s hearing. Look at that smile.
she’s always smiling. I honestly don’t think her braincells connect.
Republicans: The “Family Values” Party
Democrats: Actually helping families.
What in the Blank is this Host Stephanie asking if there restrictions on what people can do with the child tax credit? Proves she’s one of these people who feels this is personally coming out of her check and she gets to decide how it’s spent. I do not like Stephanie or Ari on this Network.
Most of these probably already get gov assistance. All ppl should get help jeez. Gov is worthless
darnet ruhle ran out of time!! otherwise surely it would’ve been asked in an econ whereby the avg for a family of four is around 250k/yr, surely it would’ve been asked how child poverty became so high the gov’t had to drop everything to try to help?
hey but who knows though?
when bezos gets down from playing buzz light year, maybe some pocket change will fall out of his astronaut outfit and that’ll definitely take care of it, right?!
right?!
Weird how all the major politicians adopt Andrew Yangs policies and pretend like they came up with it.
150k is considered low income, seriously?
75k is considered low income, seriously?
what about SENIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how about a homeless tax credit?
