That's not what the child tax credit does. It rewards you for...you know...creating future Americans.

Well said. I'm the sole wage-earner in a family soon to be of six. My wife is due with baby #4 next March. Our first child was born in 2009 and we've enjoyed, no, counted on, that refundable child tax credit ever since then. Take it away and it's going to feel like a reduction in my family's income.

I don't care what anyone here says, I'm not going to be happy about it.

Do we want to encourage married American couples to have more kids or do we want to import them?

Apparently, the GOP is content watch the fertility rate continue to plummet and just fill the gap with illegals, to absolutely no one's surprise.

You will both be blessed by your God. Uncle Sam is a poor substitute. Trying to build a foundation on a politician’s promise is not building on sand, but a lake of mercury.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Psalm 127:4

So long as you’re working and pay/owe more than 8000 a year in taxes(2000 Times 4) whether the tax credit is refundable or not won’t impact you.
