This isn’t right. Clinton delivered on welfare reform. Too bad Biden and the “anti-poverty” blob are trying to undo it via the “fully refundable child tax credit” (ie government checks to non-working one parent households, just like the old welfare system). https://t.co/tTC5eDOUsr

Hmmm. “Without immigration, California’s workforce would have fallen well short of its needs, especially since the high cost of living, soaring home prices and other factors have fueled a notable outflow of population from the state.” https://t.co/LjRhIIvIpg

I deleted an earlier tweet because the Wyden-Smith bill, which failed today, wouldn’t have totally eliminated the work requirement for “child tax credit” checks. But it would have watered it down-allowing 2 years of checks for 1 year of work-setting the stage for eliminating it.… https://t.co/1EIpfpiCvY https://t.co/WaD9SSnm1V

Senate bill containing the no-work “child tax credit” dole fails as expected. Hawley voted for it. https://t.co/sRH4ra42Wm (It’s not really a tax credit. If you don’t owe taxes the government sends you a check, welfare style, even if nobody in your household works.)

It doesn’t negate the Atwateresque value, for campaign purposes, that Harris is herself part Indian. Might make it more valuable.
Also, imagine if GOPs had waged this seemingly orchestrated “weird” campaign against Obama.
