Useful post on why the CTC “lookback” provisions would cause many tens of thousands of people [net] to quit working–and rebutting some misconceptions about that argument, like that it expects people to ping-pong in and out of work https://t.co/U3KFHFyaXx

You just have to think in any one year there are a lot of single moms on the brink of stopping work. That’s not insane. Work can be hard. Availability of tax credit via previous year will push some over the edge into non-work. https://t.co/srgugDQRzY

Not really. You just have to think in any one year there are a lot of single moms on the brink of stopping work. Work can be hard. Availability of tax credit via previous year will push some over the edge into non-work. Next year who knows? Might get used to culture of non-work. https://t.co/srgugDQRzY

Why don’t Dems just drop the “lookback” provision? They’d still get a big boost in Child Tax Credit for lower income parents who work.

Answer: Eviscerating the work requirement–undoing ’96 welfare reform–is more important to Dems than getting money to stressed working parents. https://t.co/bHk9EA53bw

Important, if you follow the Dems’ push to turn the Refundable Child Tax Credit into a dole. Sen. Crapo is gagging on the “lookback” provision–2 years of checks for one year of work–that Dems see as the “down payment” for a zero work dole. He’s right to do so. https://t.co/b9KjEqHUO9

Biden & Mayorkas’ abuse of limited “parole” power to wave in illegals is simply stunning https://t.co/Gc1H4Agt4w It’s being challenged in court. The failed Schumer-McConnell-Lankford bill seems to cut off that challenge. (Did Lankford know this? Mayorkas surely did)… https://t.co/XtIp3TtEjt
