Gumball Gumption posted:So I feel like there's a big gap between the criticism given and the argument people keep arguing with. I guess I don't get why the child tax credit gets brought up as a negative thing that is competing with the actual good things? No one is this thread disagrees more needs done and that debt should be forgiven and those without kids need help too.

The post that started this:Lib and let die posted:Means testing is a hell of a thing to be put through. Every time the democrats means test aid - whether by some arbitrary poverty cap based on 1950's economic data or one's desire or ability to have a child, they leave a struggling person behind. Every time the democrats leave struggling people behind, some nonzero portion of those people swear off the democrats. The problem I had with the OP that started this was the implication that the CTC somehow cancels out the negative financial cost of having kids and that it makes people better off than single people with no kids when that isn't true. For every single person in poverty, you have a bunch of single people who also have kids in poverty too who are probably still worse off than the former single person even with the extended CTC because kids are expensive. Yes, a UBI for everyone including kids would be ideal but calling out the CTC as a reason people won't vote for the Democrats is just a weird thing to say.

Ciprian Maricon posted:The hemming and hawing about McAuliffe potentially losing just seems divorced from reality here on the ground in VA. My mom asked me about how to vote before she left for a trip and she never votes on state level poo poo, but she wanted to make sure she punched the card for that tremendous loving turd. Frankly, I could see your mother voting for either candidate from this post.

Wife has voted in SWVA. No Democratic signs or Democratic Reps hanging around the polling place, but a lot of Republicans. She was 136th this morning. She voted the same time of day in 2020 and she was much earlier in the numbers.

TulliusCicero posted:Is this a game or does his House Boat palace have a gas leak? It makes perfect sense to him - he wants those programs to have barely any funding under his $1.5T demand so that no one even notices them or they just piss off people because of how little they do to help them. Progressives know that if they can even get these good programs started for a short time it will be a grenade ready to go off for anybody in the future that is given the choice of continuing them or letting them expire. Manchin knows that.

Ogmius815 posted:You’re all being much too pessimistic. The house moderates won’t kill BBB. That would be a breach of trust that would destroy the caucus, and would stop that Jersey chucklefuck from getting his precious tax cut. The only real problem is Manchin and Sinema, and they aren’t any bigger of a problem than they were yesterday, since they’ve made perfectly clear they’d have been fine killing both bills. It really is now Biden's job to get his agenda through the Senate, House progressives have given him enough cover the past 2 months.

Sarcastr0 posted:I also rent but I’m not sure Millennials aren’t buying homes these days, present company excluded: The problem isn't really being able to own a home, it's just the ones worth owning are mostly unaffordable for a lot of people. New construction also targets wealthier people who can drop +$350K on a house. There aren't many gems under $200K anymore in a lot of low COL areas when even just 5 years ago there was. My wife is looking at a job up in Pittsburgh where we won't really have a choice but to live in a developing suburb so she is within an acceptable commute distance and ALL of the new construction starts at $450K and can go into the $800K's. There are about 30 listings for anything under $300K. At this point I'm hoping she can negotiate enough of a salary that we can just rent for a few years and she can hop to a better job in the lower COL again, won't be owning a home for another decade at this rate.

nobody wants to work anymore https://twitter.com/greenhousenyt/status/1458504362607751178 My wife's uncle was going on a few months ago about how amazingly well paid Truckers are and it's crazy that the profession has that sterotype. Also, Biden shouldn't restart student loan payments when inflation is continuing to grow every single month and has no signs that the problems are going to get better for another year.

Gatts posted:I feel like Obama's whole thing was to get a seat at the table of whatever powers there are so he pretty much kept status quo/establishment and bailed them all out in order to get in the club. I think he pretty much spells it out in his book he didn't want to cause a shift in power. All I remember from his latest book is Michelle asking him why he even wanted to be President and him having no answer.
