daz28 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 What world are these clowns, trying to blame Biden for trumps tax cuts for the rich, living in? Then they double down on their stupidity talking about the child tax credit. #alternativefactsworld "For years, President Biden has vowed no tax increase on individuals earning less than $400,000," Sen. Steve Daines, R-MT, said during a Senate Finance Committee hearing where Yellen was testifying. "And now President Biden is choosing to let the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire and increase the corporate tax rate forcing American families and workers to bear the cost of these 'woke' policies," Daines said, referencing clean energy policies under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Provisions of the TCJA — a landmark tax law proposed by the Trump administration and passed by Congress in 2017— that are set to expire in 2025 include the child tax credit. That credit allows taxpayers to reduce their tax bill by up to $2,000 per qualifying child, with an income threshold of up to $400,000 per family. An additional "other dependent credit" offers a tax credit of $500 to people with less than $400,000 in income who have qualified dependents who are ineligible for the child tax credit. "Would you agree that if the TCJA child tax credit provisions are not extended, this would also result in a tax hike for Americans making under $400,000?" Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Id., the committee's ranking member, asked Yellen. Republicans, so called party of family values, do not support needy families The Child allowance payments are the biggest help in decades – but Republicans just see ‘welfare assistance’ Last Thursday, 39 million American parents began receiving a monthly child allowance ($300 per child under six, and $250 per child from six through 17). It’s the biggest helping hand to American families in more than 85 years. They need it. Even before the pandemic, child poverty had reached post-war records. Even non-poor families were in trouble, burdened with deepening debt and missed payments. Most were living paycheck to paycheck – so if they lost a job, they and their kids could be plunged into poverty. But every single Republican in both the House and Senate voted against the measure. After I posted a tweet reminding people of this indisputable fact, Republican senator Mike Lee of Utah responded Friday with a perfectly bizarre tweet: “If you’re one of the 39 million households receiving their first Child Tax Credit payment today, don’t forget that every single Democrat voted against making it larger.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A country's currency does not lose 20% of its value in a growth cycle unless that growth is purely of a nominal nature fueled by inflation. Add in massive government spending and deficits to fuel consumption and social assistance that provide little to no long term value and I think that's what we've got here.

As far as the U.S. dollar value goes relative to other major world currencies (the DXY): - up 7.46% over 6 years - up 1.63% over the last year Everyone's all worked up into a lather about China.
