Then you should LOVE the Big Beautiful Bill because it increases the child tax credit to $2500 for the next 3 years then makes it permanent at $2000.

Say; Thank You Mr. President.

Thank you Mr. President. But let's wait until the final bill passes to send you a stampled thank you letter. Meanwhile...

kiplinger's notes

"Some of the main changes for the CTC under the House GOP proposal include:

• Increasing the full child tax credit amount to $2,500 per child through 2028.
• Setting the full credit amount to $2,000 for subsequent tax years.
• Applicants must have a Social Security number to qualify for the credit.

The Tax Policy Center projects that this plan would provide an additional $22.9 billion of CTC benefits to families with children in 2026. However, the plan would mainly benefit middle- and higher-income households who, after receiving $2,000 in CTC — still owe additional income taxes.

By the numbers, analysts expect that increasing the CTC to $2,500 per child would:

• Increase the credit by up to $800 for some middle- and higher-income families, meanwhile;
• Low-income beneficiaries would receive an average increase of the benefit equal to about $350, or half the amount compared to folks with higher incomes."

~~~~
The effect of the change the House proposed might get the middle and higher income earners about $800 credit. The lower-income families have about $350. [The group needing the most benefit by this is the least benefited. Why?]

Is that $350 bucks worth crowing about, Harpy? Given the other things in the bill that increase other costs, will offset this?

Until it expires in 2028.

And the child tax credit doesn’t go until 18 anymore?

No, it's seventeen in this beautiful plan. 'Thank YOU! Mr. President

More notes from Kiplinger:

‘Leaving low-income children out’​

While the framework of the House proposed tax package increases the value of the child tax credit above $2,500 per child, tax policy analysts warn that millions of children are left forgotten.

The failure to make changes to the structure of the credit would “largely leave low-income children out,” according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. Some 17 million children, or 1 in 4, would continue to receive less than the full tax credit or no credit at all due to their family's income.

As noted, families who earn less than $2,500 effectively receive no credit under the CTC. That’s because if a family owes little or no federal income tax, the nonrefundable credit might not benefit them. (At that income level, it only reduces tax liability to zero and doesn’t generate a refund.)

The current structure of the credit phases in at a rate of 15 cents for each dollar, regardless of the number of qualifying children in the family.

If approved, the House proposal would increase the full credit amount to $2,500 per child. However, the increase would result in no change at all for millions of children in low-income working families.

• The poorest 20% of families with children would receive just 2% of the new CTC benefits.
• The top 20% of families with children would get nearly 10 times as much in new CTC benefits, according to the Tax Policy Center.

BTW…NOT what I like about Radicalized democrats….sorry Ann….

And Meanwhile.... radical Republicans will buy up all your fishing spots, put "No Trespassing" signs around them, then kill all the fish (or at least, hoard them all for themselves,) and throw you in jail for protesting them taking away your fishing spots.

It's a no-win situation either way.

Your favorite thing about Democrats is they aren't Republicans. Deep. Very deep.

I like that the Democrat party has dug itself into a hole so deep that even the corrupt, lying media can't dig them out.

They just keep sinking.

I agree with the Democrats on steeply progressive taxation and protecting the environment. Nevertheless, I vote Democrat without enthusiasm. The Democratic Party I really like is the party that existed from the inauguration of President Franklin Roosevelt to the assassination of President John Kennedy: thirty years in all. I do not vote Republican because Republican politicians and commentators only care about making the rich richer. Anything else they talk about is campaign rhetoric.

I am a white male heterosexual Christian who is not rich. When the Democratic Party advanced the social and economic interests of people like me the Democratic Party dominated the United States.

I'm with you. In addition, I like the fact that they lie a lot and that some may go to prison because of it.

I'm sure that made sense to you.

Poor dumb Ken loves his pedophile president.

Just seeing this post and wanted to add that even with the House adding another 500 bucks raising this to 2500, Kamala Harris’s child tax credit was a proposed 6k - more than double. But of course HisA would crow about savings after buying a bottle of coke for a dollar and then getting .10 cents back for recycling the cap.

Harris plans to extend the child tax credit to $6,000 for newborns, $3,600 for children ages one to five and $3,000 for children five and older. No income threshold has been specified in her plan for the CTC.

And yet Harris' plan didn't make it through Congress.

Which SHOULD, and normally would, tell anyone not steeped in TDS that the majority didn't think it was reasonable or appropriate.

But you go ahead and use that which never came to fruition as a basis to deny that which became reality.
