2024 Field

The first year of a baby’s life is costly and stressful for new parents, who often lose income as well as sleep as the bills mount.

Vice President Kamala Harris proposes giving families of newborns a $6,000 bonus in the form of a tax credit to support their finances and well-being—an approach used in a handful of other countries.

“That is a vital, vital year of critical development of a child, and the cost can really add up, especially for young parents who need to buy diapers and clothes and a car seat and so much else,” Harris said during a campaign speech in Raleigh, N.C., on Aug. 16.

In addition to the bonus, Harris proposes reinstating the pandemic-era expansion of the child tax credit, which provided up to $3,600 per child.

Having a baby in the U.S. causes a 10.4% income drop on average from the month the baby is born compared with before the pregnancy, as parents work fewer hours or stop working, according to the Urban Institute. The U.S. doesn’t mandate paid parental leave, as many countries do.

Seems to me that this is one of those issues that has a chance of garnering bipartisan support.

Vance has been amazing so far after the absurd attacks early on. No regret at all as Kennedy will do more as a cabinet member than VP while Vance carries the MAGA torch for 8 years following.

How normal people view MAGA

Other normal people still realize that the America he’s talking about here was only ever possible for some people. If you ask a woman or anybody from a minority group how they felt about America during this golden age of prosperity, you’ll find countless stories of discrimination, abuse and hardship. What “normal” people miss about MAGA is that it’s an aim to go back to a place that never existed for many in this country.

The sudden outrage over this is baffling to me. RFK Jr. is such a non-candidate at this point that he has endorsed another candidate for the election. Why on Earth should the American people be footing his security bill to campaign for Trump?

That’s because the media has framed it this way and has a monopoly on many people. It was absolutely never the intention and if the media didn’t poison the water it wa be as positive message like when Clinton use to say it.

The only reason “MaGA” has a negative interpretation by many is because of the evil media that poisons the world. Some have the network or means around them to get/see the truth while far too many do not. If you believe it’s negative it’s because you have yet to receive real information.

You know there have been a few attempts made on his life ?

RNC has been amazing in the run up to this election. Something the previous regime was caught completely flat footed on.

Good thing this isn’t 1965
