We really don’t want to go down the road of white identity politics. Kamala’s campaign may think it will stop at guilt (“honest with ourselves…about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history”). It won’t. https://t.co/orf18EVV0z

A few hundred dollars in no-work-required Refundable Tax Credits a month is a pretty ineffective way to encourge births. But it’s a highly effective way to create a poor, non-working, non-marrying culture (what we used to call an underclass).

Because, for Democrats, the Biden CTC was never really about encouraging people to have children, or helping them with the extra burdens of parenting. It was always a stalking horse for a no-work-required UBI. https://t.co/qe8qPrAqPg

Wait. Biden was a “transformative” president because of [running down the list] an expensive “refundable tax credit” that wasn’t very popular and was allowed to expire after a year … Infrastructure spending (admittedly “not particularly novel”)… https://t.co/D5NmoAvhnG
