new paper: the 2021 Child Tax Credit — which from July to Dec 2021 gave qualifying families up to $3,600 per child in auto monthly payments — not only appeared to “reduced child poverty by half” it also notably “improved the mental health of adults in the lowest-income families.”

If the GOP is really the party of “family values,” why did Republicans (and their good pal Joe Manchin) let the expanded Child Tax Credit expire — despite the incredible impact of the payments on low-income families?

@rbreich because they (GOP) do not care about helping citizens, they are for the privileged…and that is it…

@rbreich Low income families are not who they care about. Not in the least.

Think maybe we all need to define family values…

It seems that “family values” and “charitable values” are not necessarily the same thing.

@rbreich Because they're about *control* - keep them uppity women and uppity BIPOC folks under control. They don't give a rat's ass about poor people. They use family values as a way to coopt people who actually *do* care about families into voting to keep their #klept asses in power.
