I don’t recall seeing the figure for child poverty dropping after Trump’s
Tax Cuts.

I would think that would have had more impact year after year.

46%?

Nonsense!

There is no way any population the size of “child poverty” is statistically going to change 46% in one year. Total BS.

Yeah, like all that money went straight to help the recipients children. More likely alcohol, drugs, etc.

Very soon the US is going to go belly up. The infrastructure has already been destroyed in many ways. Soon there will be more hungry children than you can count. Along with almost everyone else. The borrowing game is so nearing the end.

Child poverty? Is there a widespread problem with the way parents handle their allowance?
