child tax credits are some mega "treat my loins as a serf factory, I'm a reliable supplier!" shit

That temporary child tax credit was a huge help for child poverty, though. It's basically just a non means tested cash assistance program for families with children.

I have a conservative family member who teaches is a poor district who became strongly in favor of continuing that credit after seeing the affect on kids in her class.

Having or adopting children is both a significant expense and a societal good, and we should subsidize it to prevent suffering of children from poverty.

Note: I am not saying people who don't want children should have them.
