The current narrative is that they're going to halve childhood poverty with a tax credit. This is all consent manufacturing around that.

What's scary is that since it obviously won't what do they do when it doesn't? The best case scenario I think is they go back to ignoring it but I wouldn't be surprised if they just claim the problem solved and push through more austerity citing their own lovely articles as justification.

look we have this study that shows the net income of X americans for FY2021 will move just past this arbitrarily line in the sand we've drawn, as long as they decide to file taxes next year despite not usually doing so

clearly this means children living in poverty right now have had their lives permanently improved

Yeah, if it isn't glaringly obvious already, it seems any significant changes that Biden is making is generally aimed at competition with China. I would say the Child Tax credit itself was largely spurred in part by the act that the US' fertility rate has dropped significantly and its their way of addressing it.

The New Frontier's act is aimed at the fact that China is rapidly catching up technologically and will probably be able to independently produce most of what it needs in the next 10 years.

A $15 minimum wage/MedicareforAll though isn't on the menu even though both could arguably make the US more competitive in the long-run.

(Also, Obamacare just makes insurance companies so much cash, there is no way they would back away from it.)




"wow, so you guys want to compete with china then, does that mean you guys are going to bring production capacity back to the US instead of relying on china to make every last product?"

I’m not above using hyperbole to close the distance between a flawed view and the reality it can lead to or endorses. And perhaps I’m too sensitive these days to tolerate even allusions to violence. But my disgust and impatience with the casual repetition of this image lies with the fact that it is not hyperbolic allusion. It’s a cartoon of something that already happens with horrific regularity. The image aims for an irony it can’t carry for a point that it doesn’t advance and it takes the most gauche route to get there.

That’s all I see when I see that image. It does not enlighten or inform. It does not represent or elevate. It advertises an absurdity at the expense of a reality. And since most of us in the global north haven’t given sufficient recognition to that reality I don’t feel we’ve earned the opportunity to caricature it.

I mean liberals believe that putting a diverse face on the american war machine is good. Biden just loving tweeted about it lol

There's not poo poo I can do about the MSM covering up american war crimes except be pissy about it and bitch on the internet. I'd love for the families of civilians enemy combatants to be interviewed but that is forbidden. This political cartoon is all we get but even that is not okay now.

quote:

Congress made the stimulus payments off-limits to private creditors when it approved the second round of $600 checks in December.

But it was unable to extend those protections this round because the Senate passed the COVID-relief package through a procedure known as reconciliation, which limits provisions in the legislation to those that are tied directly to the budget.

The legislation does protect against seizure of the stimulus money to pay back taxes, child support and other government debts.

private? yeah baby

It feels like AOC is taking on this role of, I dunno, Biden's liaison to the left? Like her comments about the covid bill, she's like "We need a living wage!!! BUT, look at all this great stuff we got 😍"

I can;t put my finger on it exactly but lately it feels like she's trying to sell me on something. Things are getting better! Leftists are winning!
