Seems crazy for Schumer/Pelosi/Biden not to immediately move to pass Manchin’s offer (pre-K, ACA, climate $) while it’s on the table. https://t.co/RedjgbyucZ

The earnings requirement (eliminated in Biden’s Rescue Plan and in BBB) was not onerous — $2,500 a year. A little more than $200 a month. Just to require *some* connection to the labor market before you claimed a “tax credit” check (even if you paid no tax). https://t.co/H0OXh68tWx

The left’ll want to give Manchin a tougher “means-test”-eg don’t send cash to $400K couples-if he’ll only keep no-work “refundability.” That’d be a bad outcome, as I think Manchin knows. We can help millions without creating a culture of non-work if we keep the old earnings test. https://t.co/bSES6KjnpO

Oc course to the left it’s much more important that the Child Tax Credit have no work-test — ie be like cash welfare — than that it phase out at any particular income level. Therein lies a danger. Hope Manchin hangs tough on the work requirement. https://t.co/NVJyGc0Vug
