I know that there is no stress like financial stress on a family, because it never goes away..............
Sure it does..................
There is a bill that was unanimously passed by the House a week or 2 ago that increased the credit giveaway in exchange for a bunch of corporate tax breaks. The Senate has not taken it up and I know a bunch of the Dems were screaming the credit was not high enough.
And how many of those are caused by government action to "fix" other problems? High child care costs by stricter licensing and higher minimum wage. Higher housing costs by restrictive zoning. Higher college costs by the money firehouse of student loans along with things like a college degree being a substitute for now illegal company skills testing if applicants.
EITC & CTC are welfare and fraud vehicles for so much money.
Child Tax Credit & Earned Income Tax Credit.
Every year there are stories about the abuse of these. The EITC is just another welfare program. People (illegal invaders, citizens, whoever) who officially earn very little can still file a tax return, sometimes receiving thousands of dollars. The most obvious example of the fraud was a 4 apartment building that filled out and submitted over 20 EITC claims from the same address. The grifters get their 10%, and the gangs, cartels, etc get their share. Imagine the Covid $$$ fraud happening every April 15th. In this Era of Direct Deposit, the money flows ever more easily.
A one-time payment of another $440 is like getting a 21 cent/hr raise. It’s helps but it ain’t going to keep up with inflation. Massachusetts combined two existing tax credits and increased one of them a bit to get to $440 for 2024. So they really didn’t do a whole lot of anything here.
Taxpayers are tapped out.
“They’ve been dealing with high housing costs, high child care costs, and high college costs....”
Just provide them migrant status, then all the benefits will flow their way…
The annual Beanpot college hockey tournament was held last night in Boston. A loud crowd involving two Boston schools (Northeastern and BU) in the Finals. The OT was electric. A great atmosphere. Then came the post-game on-ice ceremony. She was introduced to deliver a trophy and was booed vociferously by the crowd that was overwhelmingly college-aged kids! Quite the awakening
CAN I POINT OUT THAT INFLATION IS HITTING ALL OF US????
NOT JUST THOSE WHO HAVE KIDS AS DEPENDENTS?
I am 84. CERTAINLY NO KIDS AT HOME.
THIS IS OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION, IMO.
