Dems always play the Blame Game

Biden Says Child Poverty Increased Because of GOP Tax Cuts

President Biden pointed the finger at Republicans on September 12 after the U.S. Census Bureau released the childhood poverty figures for 2022. In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, the president wrote that “the rise reported today in child poverty is no accident,” adding that the Republicans are to blame for blocking the Child Tax Credit enhancements.

He vowed to work to bring back the additional tax credits, while also claiming that Republicans were more concerned about corporate tax cuts. Americans with children were receiving between $250-300 per child each month, depending on the child’s age. The monthly deposits came to an end in January 2022.

Covid was over and Republicans wanted people to go back to work.

West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s opposition shut the door to extending the additional credits. Rising inflation was also a contributory factor to the 7.2 percent increase in child poverty in 2022. More Americans were working, but the cost of living ate up additional income. And whose fault was that?
