Hey y’all, Misty from Georgia, argument would be a disincentive for working more hours

I’m from Rep Neal’s district — there is no argument against the CTC here

Simply not enough time in the session to get it passed.... plus if you wait until 2023, then the Rs will be in charge and THEN we can look at CTC

Pamela M Covington, Atlanta GA. (in car due to power outage) I've not heard any arguments against the CTC.

I can't hear anything

Hi - I sent an op-ed to David from the WSJ giving the conservative view on why child poverty is not that bad and is over funded. I have the op-ed in a pdf file if anyone wants me to send it. I've got to leave for another meeting - sending me an email to melessarogers@yahoo.com if you want a copy of the WSF op-ed on the CTC

Thanks @Melessa!

Reminder: there are links to the studies and more details on these arguments in the blogpost Karyne posted above.

Will the term "corporate welfare" turn off conservative offices?

Are the terms R&E and R&E credits interchangeable?

Expiration made it cheaper in budget terms

David can you speak on the Rubio/Hinson bill?

and what would be a good point to start to negotiate for the things we'd like to see?

With Sen. Tim Scott (SC) is "reluctant acceptance" the most support we should ask for, or might we push for a leadership role?

Thanks!

Thanks!

From our last meeting with Rep. Diaz Balart's office in June, lots of feedback and rhetoric around rising inflation

how do we handle those arguments, as inflation continues to rise - we've mentioned that we need the CTC for that very reason because of rising costs of food, fuel, and basic needs, but we've kind of hit a wall with that...

Yes! Supporters need to be champions!

+1 Jos and Meredith!!

and putting $s into the local economy should help local businesses too.

No worries, I appreciate you sharing those points and the data/research on your blog post. Really helpful for us!
