Working as intended.
So? It will also fuel hyperinflation.
It’s clear that we have finally reached this point: Who is John Galt?
This discriminates against people without kids. We just get stuck paying the bills.
I seem to remember a certain icon of the Democratic Party who once said, “Government must stop this business of relief.”
The minute the “free” money stops flowing, here will be big trouble.
Remember a few years ago when the EBT card system was shut off when a major computer system problem made the debiting system unavailable all day? Anger, fury, all kinds of trouble often at the point of payment (store, checkout line, gas station).
Computer failure temporarily halts some food stamp payments .....
Oct 14, 2013 — A system shutdown began at 11 a.m. ET Saturday and affected 17 states, said a spokeswoman for Xerox – which is a contractor for the program.(several articles, this from CNN)
Well, for us more creative and independent people, It is an opportunity to buy more guns and ammo.
RE: If you can’t afford it
You advocated equivalency between a guy suffering from dementia and strange sexual proclivities and one of the few in Washington who took actions in the judicial branch that demonstrated he seriously regarded his oath to support and defend the Constitution. Now you complain the victor of behaving according to type and offering unlimited free stuff, which precludes attention to matters of eternity and promotes the demise of a vanishing republic.
The classical Christian faith you profess invigorated the Enlightenment and resulted in a Constitution promising the intangible, natural freedoms of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. The intension of convention delegates was never material comfort, but instead spiritual advancement as individuals created, encouraged, explored, built, cooperated, served and/or taught, and became heroic, while pursuing a new life.
If anyone deserves the label of heretic it is you for ignoring a government originally intended to prosper individual sovereignty and self-worth as a way to recognize the inestimable value the Lord assigns to each person.
Good insight. Applies to my wife and me.
Notice ALL the talk every year of "this tax benefit for the average husband and wife with two children" but omits "and actually taxes are going up for those without children and certain other categories...."
I am painfully reminded of this every year at income tax time, and many times a year for property tax time.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.
After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”-Alexander Fraser Tytler
The only things holding this country together are Welfare and Cable.
If either one fails, it’s on.
I have a rock pile that I self identify as my children
At least I get half a deduction now for being old...Say, why don’t old people on fixed incomes and homeless veterans get $250 a month too?? They have contributed far more than a 2 year old tax deduction.
Great joke.
The Democrats, like President Trump, are trying to avoid an economic crash.
Many assets are way overpriced.
What can’t be controlled from DC is the dollar’s foreign exchange rates. It is what the US asset price is in yuan and Euros that matters.
Keeping them on the plantation for their Masters.
The funny thing is that even with all these child tax credits the birth rate is still declining.
I have six kids under 18 so I get a lot of money from these programs. However I wonder how much debt my kids will be saddled with and how much economic opportunity is lost. By trying to buy votes both political parties are responsible for it.
Yep...today’s bread and circuses.
