This holiday season remember that the cancelled child tax credit—which slashed childhood poverty by 30%—would've cost only $1.7T over the next decade, while the ever expanding Defense Budget will cost around $9T over the next decade.

Children are suffering and starving now because corporate bought politicians would rather buy bombs than bread.

Thank GOP & Manchin/Sinema for this cruelty & grotesquely misplaced priorities. A reminder that our standard must be justice above all—or we all suffer.

@QasimRashid Important detail that seems to be glossed over by both sides is the $1.7T is over the next 10 years! Not all at once, not each year, but over the next 10 years. Maybe we need to spin it into the defense budget to protect those children falling into that 30% and get the attention they deserve.

@spydrbite Right. I specifically say "$1.7T over the next decade."

@QasimRashid Of course YOU did! You always include the important details, that's why I follow you on all the things.
