The CTC (Child Tax Credit) lifted children out of poverty, didn't cost much and the Republicans refused to extend it

"Reinstating the CTC expansion that President Biden signed into law in 2021 would lift millions of children out of poverty every year, which evidence shows would have numerous additional benefits—reduced food insecurity and financial hardship, improved health for children and parents, better school performance, and reduced incidence of child abuse—for children, their parents, and their families. Indeed, the benefits extend into adulthood and far exceed the expanded tax credit’s cost."

Investment in children not corporations already turning record profits.

But parents are already working poor so unlikely to vote Republican anyway.
Why not cut the money [i]they[/i] get and gift it to.....small business in the hope you can convince 'Wally the window cleaner' to vote Republican cause look what we can do for you !
Thus ensuring at least one safe vote.

Clueless. Never known so many expecting to come to power so clueless about what they're supposed to be fighting for or WTH they're going to do once they get there.
