It ended under Biden along with most of the benefit increases we got because of covid. It was bad enough to have a massive spike in child poverty after decreasing.
The person claimed the child tax credit ended after only a year. Thats incorrect. Biden temporary increase to the child tax credit was allocated for a single year. After that the child tax credit continued.
The significant backsliding on child poverty that occurred after Congress allowed the Child Tax Credit expansion to expire underscores the fact that the number of children living in poverty is a policy choice. Recently there have been encouraging signs of bipartisan interest in a modest expansion. On January 31, 2024, in a strong bipartisan vote, the House passed a tax bill that included a Child Tax Credit expansion that, while far smaller than the Rescue Plan expansion, would help about 16 million children and lift a half million or more children above the poverty line in 2025.[1] Unfortunately, the legislation has been stuck in the Senate.
It ended under Biden. They didn’t continue under the dems watch.
Again the issue is the dems keep ignoring easy wins to keep their donors happy
well actually it expires under trump but somehow this is still bidens fault.
Its actually gross how hard you try and undermine the left. Even when you are shown things that directly show ctc existing for more than a year throughout bidens entire term you never reconsider and think oh maybe I was wrong its not the dems who killed this. What would it take for you to blame trump? I bet even if trump used an executive order to remove the CTC you would be there saying “noo biden should have done more. Never vote dems” its almost like you want a right wing government.
Oh thats my bad, I thought this comment chain was coming off the statement “the child tax credit only lasted one year, and the cost reduction was only for the elderly”
I guess your argument is that the policy was right wing because it didnt do enough. Is that correct?
My point is that dems are left wing because they try and push the country left.
The extra $300 per month would be a better argument if they tried to keep it going instead of letting it lapse…
They used to run on being left then only doing extremely watered down policies.
My point is that dems are left wing because they try and push the country left.
In 2024 they ran on more war, higher funding to the military, and implementing gop immigration policy. Again after seeing how popular left wing policies were in the polls.
But yeah they’re totally working hard to push the country left

When did I say it was only a year?
Even with dems the usa has a right wing government.
