Lee continues to work to make the [child tax credit] as beneficial as possible to American working families," Carroll said.

And there's Corker, of course, who opposed the bill earlier.

Such a damn shame that perhaps the greatest President our country has ever been blessed with is forced to govern without a legitimate loyal party!!!

If Kimmie nuked the capital, we’d get a complete do -over. These guys are all against Trump, and are reminiscent of that fake tv wrestling - called, “tag team”

Remember everybody, a perfectly good tax bill was passed by the Senate and rests back with the House for a final vote.

Fund an increase in the credit with money saved by ending all flow of cash from the government to illegal immigrants.

It’s the same as it was in the bill they both supported. They’re just mad because the “rich” dropped to 37% in exchange for 1% of the corporate and that’s what they were asking for in exchange for child tax cut changes. Now they feel as though there demands were at least as reasonable. They’re going to push for 21.94% (the .94 is what they were asking for originally). Stupid reason to kill the bill. Plus, can’t they just stop paying off illegals and use that money to give more to legals?

I’ve known that Rubio is a disguised saboteur of America for years but I’m beginning to have my suspicions of Lee also.

Sabotage— it’s what infiltrating fifth columnists do!

Looked like Rubio torpedoed the stock market today with his belligerence. The Dow was down almost 78 points.
Thanks for nothing, Little Marco.

The GOP is a disgrace. A big government, cheap labor open borders, party.

Why should people without kids subsidize people who have them?

You summed it up perfectly, snarkytart!

I wish President Trump could form a MAGA party to help him enact and enforce his agenda.

Yet, as you say, the GOP is hardly any better than the RATS.

Sounds like the mormon cult and their members (lee) want to favor the big cult families.

This is no longer a Republic, it is a dysfunctional corrupt democracy that extorts at gunpoint 4 TRILLION dollars from "citizens".

We are some 150 years out from 1865 and the NYT and their BOLSHEVIK allies are still running cover for the GANGSTERS in DC.

US AGAINST THEM

I was hoping that their problem with the child tax credit was that the child tax credit in the bill would go to the illegal parents of the anchor babies.
