I love that if we were even dumb enough to accept the "Joe lifted half of the children out of poverty" line it completely ignores the other half of children who still are in poverty. Of course that whole distinction is arbitrary and stupid, I just think it's funny to imagine a firefighter getting indignant outside of a burning school and saying "what more do you want?! I saved half the kids!"

the most important takeaway imo is that it only looks at poverty in 2021

yeah, a $15 minimum wage that doesnt fully kick in for 5 years isnt gonna have a major impact in 2021

but also if you calculated the numbers for 2022 it would certainly show a massive return to poverty, and calculating another 5+ years would make it obvious that the minimum wage increase would have been the most impactful piece

dont worry though, im sure republicans will forget about this in 2022 and wont be running ads about child poverty doubling under biden

but that'd be bad faith!!! :ohdear:

I'm sure it will end up being something along the lines of "vote in more Democrats to fix this oversight that the Republicans are stopping despite none of them voting for this bill anyway"

Sounds like the left, always asking for everything all at once. You think they can just get rid of all child poverty all at once? It's not that simple, and we only just got 45 out of the white house. Why can't you be happy with the good things that are happening instead of trying to tear down the democrats who are working hard for you?

technically he did
average 'moderate' cost to feed aged 3-17 per month : $250 (ballparking here, doesn't really matter).
fda waived all food costs for all kids from mid march 2020-june 2021.
let's say it's $150 per month worth of food for that free food, although it's probably more. doesn't matter.
150*12 months = $1800 per kid

biden kid poverty plan = $1600 per kid per year. if you file taxes and there's no phaseouts and blahblah.

now this does ignore kids who were already on free food plans but its pretty clear trump did more, for longer, for everyone. oh yeah and since the FDA was smart enough to look the other way on parents grabbing extra bags of food for themselves, toss a few extra thousand in there per family. the problem, of course, is it didnt just show up in people's bank accounts and required them to go get it, but at the same time the food can't be gobbled up by debt collectors

I wouldn't call it an issue, as the preponderance of Biden family deaths has been nothing but a delightful career boon for the President.

oh well i'm sure bdien ain't that bad rofl

It doesn't matter what he said. You can't be for $2.5k checks monthly while actively supporting and campaigning for Joe "can't keep my family alive, much less the USA" Biden.

And he totally forgot about sailor.

Their plan is to drive head first into the shellacking so they don't have to govern and spend 8+ years fundraising as the minority party
