Next question?

this. Joe Manchin thinks it is going to lazy people who don't want to work.

Let's be clear about Manchin's position.
He did not want it because it did not include a work requirement AND he wanted a cap on income.

Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.V., said Tuesday that he will not support an extension of the enhanced child tax credit (CTC), a key component of the bill, without the addition of a work requirement for parents.

Manchin told Business Insider that his position on the requirement has not changed for some time. Democrats need all 50 senators on board to pass their legislation via the reconciliation process, and the West Virginia senator has been a holdout in getting the social spending bill to Biden’s desk.

In addition to a “firm work requirement,” Manchin has also called for a household income cap of around $60,000 to receive the credit. Specifics on what exactly the work requirement would entail haven’t been made public.

Yes. Was something I said incorrect? He wanted you to take any crap job for slave wages. If you wanted to hold out for something with a better schedule or a living wage, you can pound sand.

You can work a job while looking for a better one. Shocker, I know…

Manchin was right on this one. All adult parents in the household should have been working to receive it. Nothing wrong with that. It's a pretty moderate stance and is the bare minimum. Capped at $60k is too low but somewhere in the $85k range would have been more appropriate.

For my own middle-class family, it provided some major breathing room--essentially covering (most of) the cost of after-care.

Why is nobody pushing to keep this program in perpetuity?

Democrats are focused on creating a new W visa as part of the COMPETES bill to allow unlimited green cards for anyone. they have screwed grad students and now they are going after PHDs. Goal is to increase supply to keep wages low.

Or if you were taking care of ill, disabled or elderly family members, Manchin thinks you don’t deserve it.

Good.

It shouldn't only be the blue collar workers who suffer the consequences of these types of policies.

Gotta get as many people in here as possible to keep the social welfare ponzi going. That is the reality that both sides of the aisle are working on.

Really? Tell me about how you worked a crap retail job with split shifts and with two kids, and also managed to pull off a successful job hunt. I love those bootstrap stories!

It can be done, but, it’s easier to sit on your ass and complain.

It was a cash flow deferral to help with Covid economic shutdown. That’s over now.
