This is madness. People are struggling and we’re fighting over how many people we want to EXCLUDE from the relief checks.

What about the family w/ several kids who made 160k but lost their job in 2020?





And you’re telling me we’re going to cut off single parents with one income before families with married parents?

@RepKatiePorter has explained in great detail why this is a BAD idea.

@RepKatiePorter
There’s no discount for being a single parent (trust me, I know). So, single parents shouldn’t face stricter income limitations than married parents in qualifying for the child tax credit.
@RepPressley
and I are urging
@WaysMeansCmte
to drop the #singleparentpenalty

7. K&R. I didn't like that change, but the bill is still a necessity

And we can still say a $1,400 check is larger than any check Dump sent.
