.@oren_cass boosts @JDVance’s big Child Tax Credit expansion, but fills in a key detail:

“Eliminating any work requirement converts the program into a proto–Universal Basic Income, deserves the Right’s “welfare” criticism, and is wildly unpopular.”

There are ways to expand the availability of Child Tax Credit checks at low-incomes without throwing work out the window. See, e.g. https://t.co/BrRSd2ayrH (Starting at zero income, you get benefits in proportion to how much you earn until you qualify for the full check.)

I’m hoping Vance did not mean abolishing the minimal work test on Child Tax Credit “refunds,” which would basically turn it into a massive welfare program, with all the dysfunctions a culture of welfare entails. That was Biden’s plan https://t.co/4RiCSpgO7X) https://t.co/agyJ5VlJeb
