Do you think the Child Tax Credit should be restored?
CLEVELAND — The 2021 expansion of the child tax credit put hundreds of dollars a month into the pockets of 35 million American families, increasing the credit to $3,600 for each child under the age of 6 and $3,000 for those between the ages of 6 and 18. Increases that went out in $250 to $300 monthly payments. In July of last year, Myesha Watkins of Cleveland, a mother of two girls, told Sen. Sherrod Brown it was money already spent.
"It's a struggle still trying to figure out how to live comfortably and budget at the same time," she said."Being part of the working poor you don't think that there's an opportunity to save but with life happening, lately it's just really hard." So why does he think this might pass now when it was on the back burner for a year? Because there were some tax breaks for businesses in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that are set to expire. If Republicans had gained control of the Senate last month, they could have restored them on their own, but with Democrats maintaining control of the Senate and the House still for another three weeks, there's room to negotiate.
