In reply to the discussion: Joe Manchin demands that only parents working and making less than $200,000 get the full child tax c [View all]Lithos

I hate these arbitrary limits.
What if you have more than 1 kid? Having 200k income with one kid is far different than 200k with 2 or 3 kids.
Also, what about Cost of Living? In some areas of the country, $200k is fairly well of; in other areas of the country it's just barely getting by. $200K in West Virginia is probably the equivalent of $500K in the Bay Area. Where is the equity in his plan?
This is just a number he is throwing out. If he were serious he would have actual real details and policy - not deflection.

He doesn't want to go on record with the BBB vote, so a separate bill here is his goalpost move.

But most of the job search process is done online now, so it's done at home.

Okay, I see that I am wrong here. I thought that this was just about assistance with childcare
