That Capital's sewer system overflows?Well, here we are. Today's the day...
A fake judge and a fake jury hearing a fake crime with fake evidence in a fake courtroom in a fake government in a fake democracy being reported by a fake media. What could possibly go wrong?
Renter: I'd like to rent this 3 bedroom apartment-- how much is the rent?So the Dems are raising the Child Tax Credit from $2000 to $3600, almost double. And they plan on paying it out not as a tax credit but in monthly cash payments.
Now I suppose I'm fine with a Child Tax Credit for working families. But this stinks of Universal Basic Income (Aka Free Money). Am I simply a jaded asshole? or does this sound like a bad idea?
I see a few potential problems:
- More low income families having more kids they can't afford in the first place, placing an ever bigger burden on the welfare system. Hey, have 4 kids and get a free $1200 p/mo from the Feds. Don't think there are folks who think like this? What rock have you been living under?
- It doesn't stop at low income families, it pays out up to HHI of almost $400,000 p/yr. "Look Mary we get a free monthly check from Joe!"
- This is on top of the extra $600 p/wk Unemployment "benefit" currently being given by the Feds in addition to State unemployment. Start doing the math......
- This is on top of SNAP (food stamps)
- This is on top of not needing to pay that pesky rent
- Meanwhile Biden killed approx 75,000 jobs with the stroke of a pen on Day one of his coup.
- The Avg household income is about $48,000. We're getting closer to not needing to work at all! The Dems will just send us free money!
So what has been the standard tactic of Democrats for years just got ratcheted up, give out free money and people will vote for you.
