Expanding the child tax credit was a Democratic dream come true -- but it could be on the chopping block

Democrats had originally settled on a top line of $3.5 trillion but some Senate moderates including Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have indicated they will not support a number that high. Democrats need all 50 senators on board to pass the legislation. As Democrats' work to find a topline number that is acceptable to all members, the jockeying has begun to see what may stay and what may go.

from the washington times - “There’s a lot of need out there, whether it be child tax credits … helping those kids have a start in life, whether it be fixing a lot of the human infrastructure that has fallen by the wayside,” Mr. Manchin said. “You know, helping middle-class hardworking people have a chance to get ahead and enjoy the American dream.”
