Harris has proposed giving $6,000 (via refundable tax credit) to families in the 1st year of a baby's life. Flint, Michigan has been doing this for the past year. The results are incredible: Fewer babies born with low birthweight No families evicted in baby’s 1st year Less hunger t.co/BiEcGw7Mj7
Such a fantastic move if she does this.
It’s amazing how just giving people money keeps working.
Funny how it's the "pro-life" politicians that killed the enhanced child tax credit.
Ostensibly the richest nation in the world, but so far we've proved too mean-spirited even to give new mothers something like the Finnish "baby box". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materni...
It’s like we get great results if we invest a little $ in our families.
"Prescription cash" is such a good way of framing it. Don't fuck with people's medicine. They need it to live and that's that. I don't medically qualify for prescription cash but I have been known to abuse it recreationally.
I love having actual facts and data that shows how investing in people shows the biggest improvements instead of just bitching about things without ideas. Same thing with homelessness being done. Vote 💙 and all of our lives improve.
It should be for all parents, with increased amounts for under school age tbh Kids are expensive at any age and care at home the most expensive
