What are everyone's thoughts on making the Monthly Child Tax Credit permanent? I think it is an important step to care for the families in our area, but I know not everyone believes in this program

What about those of us with no kids

like

I'm not sure the credits are massive. I still pay a lot in taxes. As kids get older the credit is less even though they get more expensive (food, entertainment, clothes, car, etc.)

I'm still on the fence with this. However, I do acknowledge the fact that it's one of the most important initiative the government can do to offer relief to those struggling to make ends meet.

I think the incetivtive is to encourage people to have more kids, because many are worried there won't be enough people in later years to fill the holes in the work force. If they can make room for a program like this, they can make room for universal healthcare.

Personally, I found it helpful because I owe every year anyway, so I'd rather get the cash in hand than have a small amount deducted from my balance. Either way, you're pretty much getting the same amount, just in different ways.

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?

For the first time in my life, I don't want to know what's happening in the world and I don't care who wins.
