1.7 Trillion Dollar Funding Bill“: Not In That Bill is the CHILD TAX CREDIT EXPANSION: Over the last few weeks, Republican leaders in Washington refused to even discuss a deal that would benefit America’s kids and businesses,” Democrat Senator Bennet said in a statement. “They were absent from the negotiating table, and the coming year will be much harder for America’s families as a result.” Congress had passed an expanded CTC in 2021 to help alleviate costs for struggling families during the pandemic.

(Washington Post)--------Good Guys with a Gun, so we are told, is the answer to keeping kids safe, EXCEPT, when the Good Guys with a Gun, are too afraid of One Guy with a Gun. Kids die from bullets, bullets in a gun, a gun purchased easily and readily, because if you are a Politician who ya gonna cater to, just a bunch of kids ( because there ARE at least 73 million under the age of 18 in the USA) or your Sugar Daddy the NRA!
