That helicopter money has dangerously distorted the economy. Most people, if they don’t HAVE to work will gladly sit at home munching Cheetos and streaming entertainment.

Nonsense, these are just advanced payments of money folks with kids would get when filing taxes, either as EIC payments are credits against taxes. Its not extra money. And by the way none of my grown children with children have received a single one of the advanced payments. I suspect thats mostly the case.

Printing money the government does not have fuels inflation.

Yeah, that will make Biden even more popular. Most expect the Child Tax Credit will cover much of their remaining tax liability. Prepaid & spent, they won’t be ready for an extra $3000 or so due within days.

Stupid & obvious enough that one might assume Democrats planned around this, either as an impetus to grant emergency credits, or to initiate breakdown of the system.

Replace it with a school voucher they can use at the school of their choice.

If Biden and his thugs win on this issue white parents need to sit home and have babies too.

Liberals have finally made it worthwhile for most ethnic groups to be compromised... so enjoy. Lots of new White, Hispanic, Asian and black babies coming soon.

This was always the plan. Institute a “temporary” payment then cry “but what about the children” once it is set to expire. Then, blame the evil conservatives for wanting to starve all the children in the “minority” neighborhoods.

If only there was something they could do that would provide money. A place they could go daily and do something for that money. I heard in ancient times (like 2019) there were these places.

"No family in America should struggle to get by,"

I know several that didn't miss a day's work, and also received these 'credits' for anywhere from 3-5 kids. They bought numerous tats, new(er) cars, bling, and other non-child care related waste.

Mom and Dad can get off their butts and fill all those empty jobs instead of welfare checks.
