    Why did the Republicans vote against the child tax credit extension in 2022 since they care about kids and the class?

    Letting people keep the money they earned is not socialism. People should never get money in a tax return that they didn't pay in to start with in my opinion.

    Sounds like you're ready to eliminate all business tax credits

    And he got the saying wrong, it’s “couldn’t care less.”

    I saw B2 Bombers fly over on the 4th. And you got to feel a massive surge of MAGA-Murica pride when Cadet Bone Spurs had his military parade.

    So why are you so reluctant to pay your bills? That beautiful parade wasn't any more free than all the other stuff you've enjoyed from all that deficit spending during your lifetime.

    So why you run away when it's time to pay the bill? Getting something for nothing is call .... welfare .... right?

    From what I read, if the BBB had not passed the child tax credit would have gone down $1,000 per child but now it goes up an additional $200 per child.

    I think people that don't want to pay their bills just want to be on welfare, right?

    I think he accidentally wrote it correctly as I would assume most democrats do in fact care about the child tax credit, just not at the expense of a host of other issues.

    Some Dems in congress think that they could gain 40+ House seats in 2026 because of this BBB. Do you agree with that?

    Seems extraordinarily unlikely. The gain is possible as we see those kinds of swings all the time but I doubt it would be from this one bill.
