SB 107-23: Indexing the Child Tax Credit to Inflation Act (Passed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would rather we work to get inflation under control first, rather then try to pursue a thousand band-aids in the innumerable areas in which such puts pressure on various groups who can most ill afford it, including working class families with children, seniors, those on fixed incomes generally and not to mention a host of industries and commercial activities.

Nay

The gentleman has clearly gone insane. He speaks of such folly as this purported Inflation, in such a manner as would lead one to think he truly believes it to exist. Curious.

Well in that case, this bill should be tabled. One cannot index to something that doesn't exist naturally.

it is anti-human. .

The robot apocalypse is nigh.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A question to the Senator from Delaware; given that every Federalist Senator is voting against this bill, is it correct to say that the Federalist Party, as a whole, is anti-child?

Sounds like every crook that has facilitated the massive spike in tuition inflation over the past thirty years.

Tale as old as time.

Or every teacher union shill
Or the proponents of no child left behind
Or the advocates of the war on drugs
Or the denizens of the mass incarceration approach to crime
Or endless wars

If we had told these people where to stick it back then when they threw "think of the children" out as a defense, a number of children would have actually gotten a decent education, not lost their lives, or lost their parents to prison or death.
