[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard they're dropping Paid Leave from the BBB bill. Personally I think that and subsidized child care should go.

Focus on getting universal pre-school paid for which is formative for early education. I could take or leave community college. Child tax credits can stay but with an employment requirement and a limit on number of kids - I don't care of its a limit of 8 or 10 but SOME LIMIT in place. [/quote]

I think the community college one is one of the most important.  It gives people a path to save on university costs and builds up a hub to help the broader community.  So much could be done with it long term if the base funding is fixed.

Yeah, im down for a four kid limit on the kids credit.  Dont let it become a moneymaking scam like homeschool (some people take bigly advantage and give the legit homeschool parents a bad name).  I dont think conditionality is ever a good idea.  [/quote]

Conditionality? You mean the employment requirement?[/quote]

NP...  4 kid limit would work for me though I'd probably be more inclined to drop that to 2 or 3, plus means testing - nobody with HHI well into 6 figures should be eligible for any subsidies or credits whatsoever.  As for employment requirements, I don't have an issue with households having a caregiver and a breadwinner but I don't think it's reasonable to force both parents to work particularly if there are young children involved.[/quote]

No one's forcing both parents to work. The tax credit is given to the household and whoever claims the dependents on their tax returns. Which means one person can work and file as head and get the credit. Or they can file jointly - either way, as long as some one in the household is working - the credit remains under employment requirements.[/quote]
