They brag about cutting childhood poverty in half as though that’s the best they can do. No it is not the best they can do.

The Congress didn’t choose to bailout only half of Wall Street. “All told, the U.S. SBA said in a report on Monday that finance and insurance firms represented $12.2 billion across 168,462 loans, about 2.3% of the program's total lending.” reuters.com/article/us-healt…

It is a dramatic improvement. Better than past admins. Yes, it should be more but I am glad this admin seems to care.

If you're going to cut childhood poverty in half ... why not simply cut it all together!

It's a start and it's more than has been done. Let's celebrate the wins before we criticize.

They are criminals who are letting us go hungry, stealing from us, leaving us to die, to live in absolute poverty and you think they give a shit about our children?!

Please explain how a one time tax credit that requires sophisticated accounting skills or money to obtain and is less than several existing programs cuts childhood poverty in half. This seems like an impossible to be true claim.

It’s a start. Is it the finish line? No. But we’ve got to start somewhere.

Oh stop. Nobody is saying that. Can’t we celebrate improvement and continue the work?
