I think this is much to do about nothing designed to make conservatives angry. The 1,600 amount was the amount in 2021. The outrageous inflation that Biden created affects us all.

Tax rates, standard deductions are all inflation adjusted. The inflation from 2021 to 2023 is about 10%. The inflation adjusted amount would increase the 1,600 to 1,760 or rounded to 1,800.

In addition, the extra cost to feed these kids must be way more than $100.

I've heard that this bill also removes the requirement of the parents having social security numbers to get this child tax credit. Since citizens all have the number, immigrant aliens working towards citizenship have social security numbers and even non-immigrant aliens with work permits have social security number that leaves illegals (and legal students and tourists who shouldn't be working here) as the beneficiaries. Cha-ching! Uncle Sucker passes out our money to people who don't deservi it once again.

LOW INCOME families without kids get screwed again.

It’s pork.

When our house was full of children I stopped signing the form for the child tax credit. It’s pork.
