Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, and Rep. Jason T. Smith, a Republican from Missouri who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, crafted the deal at the start of the year and secured passage in the House on a 357-70 vote in the hopes of passing it before the start of tax season. But objections from Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee stalled the bill.
This week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer finally called a vote, in part to force Republicans to take a public stand on the bill ahead of the November election. Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, handed out pamphlets to Republican colleagues suggesting that voting in favor of the bill would “give Harris a win before the election.”
Also a quick reminder that this bill needs 60 votes to pass.
We are all supposed to be supporting our kids with stipends from a trust account our daddies set up for us…. What, doesn’t everyone have a trust fund set up by their daddies?
So. That’s the point. Or one of the main points. At least, as far as the people actually setting republican policy is concerned.
They need cheap (read, unskilled, uneducated,) labor desperate for low-paying shit jobs. The easiest way to get that is to force young women who aren’t ready or very incapable of having a child to have children.
This creates a desperate single mother struggling to afford basic necessities; and likely a child without any financial support as they become working age adults- and similarly desperate.
You’ll also notice they’re all for the tough-on-crime stupidity that locks people up for shit reasons and then forces them to work in the only constitutionally-approved form of slavery.
That it just happens to affect more minorities is just a bonus.
