Note Biden makes a point of saying that “EVERY WORKING FAMILY IS ELIGIBLE”–a good way to avoid saying that NON-WORKING FAMILIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE. The latter is the point for Dems. We already have a Child Tax Credit for *working* families. Biden could have just made it bigger. https://t.co/aXeEJHfwn3 https://t.co/Etxj3T9RTW

Cotton seems aware of the danger, at least in general terms: On Ellis’ podcast, he says: “Of course we want to give a helping hand and a hand up to people who have fallen on their luck, lost their job, have a sick kid, … but people need to work.”

If you phrase it as a Ryanist libertarian/budget issue, you have a point. If you emphasize you’re willing to spend lots of money to help *workers* that objection goes away, I think. https://t.co/kupYDtpJDr

COVID relief is one thing. But the Democrats want to make the ‘child checks’ program permanent. That’s the whole point. (There were plenty of other ways to provide temporary COVID relief, including the $1400 stimulus checks. That’s not what we’re talking about.) https://t.co/G7K6JqEyxo

Happy CHILD TAX CREDIT AWARENESS DAY, when Democrats give Republicans the issue that should give the GOP control of at least the House! It’s a welfare plan-disguised as a “tax credit”-that sends checks to families that don’t work (or try). The opposite of Clinton’s welfare reform https://t.co/yZcilMYXwK

COTTON-“Democrats are going to pay a political price…I can tell you that Republican senators… are astonished that the Democrats think…it’s popular just to give checks out to famiies with noone even seeking a job…It will be a centerpiece of Republican campaigns next year.”

Sen. Cotton on the SLEEPER ISSUE of ’22: “Democrats essentially undid the welfare reform of 1996. So checks are now going to households not only with…no income earner but with noone even seeking a job…That is massively unpopular with working Americans” https://t.co/f190xn67RN

That’s especially true when Congress could eliminate the risks, and keep most of the benefits, by simply limiting the child benefits to working families (as the current “tax credit,” and the Rubio/Lee plan, does). https://t.co/zXzwry1etx

Credit Brown for honesty–admitting “child checks” won’t boost births. But his ephemeral goal of “fairness” doesn’t seem worth immense social risk of enabling critical mass of non-working families (what we used to call an “underclass”) as welfare did. https://t.co/Xg7WQG2R2c

TAKE! Since the real purpose of the voting rights bills is not to protect voting rights but to give Dems a reason to end filibusters, it was important to guarantee that no GOPs support Manchin’s compromise. Having Abrams quickly endorse it was one way to make sure they wouldn’t. https://t.co/RZ8QFzPnNa
