Democrats in Congress are pushing to make permanent the child tax credit as part of President Joe Biden's economic agenda. (Photo: Stock/Getty Images)
"The expanded child tax credit is popular, good for the economy, and a key element of President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. There is absolutely no reason for Congress to consider anything but a long-term extension of the policy."
\u201cI can\u2019t believe I have to say this, but it is a terrible idea to cut the Child Tax Credit, one of the most popular policies with the American public.\u201d— Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan Omar) 1634666367
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
