Is this actual money in this case or is this more designated monetary amounts of goods, ie the worth of the guns and tanks and other things we've been giving them that were just collecting dust over here?

Because that's what most of the past monetary support was. No actual money was involved and so didn't really cost us anything.

An expansion of the Child Tax Credit that focuses on the 19 million children who are shut out of the full credit because their families’ incomes are too low would come at a modest cost. For example, making the current law $2,000 credit fully available to these children would cost roughly $12 billion per year in 2022, according to the Joint Tax Committee estimates.

Sure, we could end child poverty with a snap of our fingers, but what if we stoked the flames of global conflict so we could privatize and exploit the poorest country in Europe? All it costs is their dead children!

Can a single liberal offer a single example of how anything in the USA has improved since Biden became president?

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

(not a liberal, but) The infrastructure bill was mediocre but should lead to some improvements over the next decade or so.

They recently protected some indigenous land from uranium mining.

Ummmmmmm, anything else after the last 3 years or so?

Can we go ahead and just declare a state of emergency on the climate crisis? Or do we need the rest of the states to burn down as well? Shit's getting me frustrated
