"While an expanded credit could slightly reduce work, the anti-poverty effects of expanding the Child Tax Credit would far outweigh any small reductions in employment." a) not strongest statement b) "outweigh" if all you consider is money, not culture of non-working households https://t.co/aXtBnw6yeG

COME ON IN! THE CRISIS IS THE PLAN More evidence for the @NeilMunroDC theory that the Biden administration sees no crisis because its *goal* is to sluice as many migrants into US as it can. Then more will come? They'll get in too. No crisis! https://t.co/rBBtQEvmSm

That's what they thought in 1969 when Nixon proposed essentially a 'UBI for kids.' (These are not new ideas.)

Strikingly, the big child allowance proponent in video, @lymanstoneky, admits he's not focused on poverty. Poverty's been going down. "Mission accomplished." [1 hr in]! Let's focus on other values–eg family, abortion.
So why is child allowance being sold as antipovery plan? https://t.co/ogicVTHfod

How the Biden/Niskanen child-dolers will avoid creating a long-term culture of non-work and non-marriage:
1. Put all single mothers on the cash dole, and tell them that's great, they're entitled to it; it's theirs;
2. ?
3. ?
4. Low mariginal tax rates!— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) March 2, 2021
