Fox News Host Confronts GOP Sen. With Data Showing Child Tax Credit Reduces Poverty

[Guno צְבִי]

Fox News Sunday host Mike Emanuel confronted Senator Roy Blunt with data showing that Democrats' child tax credits substantially reduce child poverty, questioning why the Missouri Republican opposes President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act.

The child tax credits, first approved as part of Biden's American Rescue Plan in March, provided families with monthly payments of hundreds of extra dollars for each dependent child. But the program expires this month as the Senate failed to pass the Build Back Better Act, which would have extended the child tax credits.


"Senator, one of the casualties of the collapse of that bill is the child tax credit that expires at the end of the year. According to the Urban Institute, continuing the benefit could have a significant impact on child poverty," Emanuel, who serves as the network's chief Washington correspondent, told Blunt during a Sunday interview.

Emanuel pointed out that the data shows the child tax credit reduces "child poverty to about 8.4 percent from 14.2 percent—a fall of roughly 40 percent."

"Is that a compelling argument to extend it?" Emanuel asked the GOP senator.

You know what else would reduce child poverty? If deadbeat parents got off their lazy asses and got jobs.

GOP is very interested in children from conception to birth!Because it's a good wedge issue to get votes from the sheep!
Once born the GOP losses all interest.
