Ha ha, when you said that you were collecting tips, I thought you meant collecting good ideas!

As a policy wonk who taught social welfare policy for 18 years I very much like your post. The child tax credit is a perfect example of what you were talking about and we need to start working on such credits at the local level. I’m hoping that you will check out my Substack election analysis post under Beats, where I will be discussing your post further. To see beats, you have to visit via the web.

I agree with you that we need to start collecting ideas and I hope to be in touch with you about that.

I take those tips too!! Yes, you are exactly right on the child tax credit. One thing that is kind of wild is that one of the major talking points of the Biden Administration was that we cut child poverty in half, but we were only able to sustain that for one year (due to Rs in Congress). I will review your analysis. Please do be in touch.
