1) Fine. Not worth creating new dependent underclass via "refundable child tax credits" (neo-welfare).
2) Even many proponents of refundable CTC admit it won't affect fertility much if at all. >> https://t.co/dPCmtk4CSh
3) Why not restrict child tax credits to taxpaying families? https://t.co/qIyqafIpba

Don't understand how it's weakening "the core pillars of democracy" to go back to normal voting procedures that were in place before the pandemic came along and required emergency changes like expanded mail voting. Do the core pillars have a ratchet? https://t.co/TCz2HsFuuS
