Is Trump Giving Families Money?

Former President Donald Trump has made a significant tax relief promise during his campaign, promising to push for a tax credit for family caregivers. This provision would affect only about 2. 5 of all the labor market, and the Trump tax bill doubled that to $2, 000 and extended it up the income ladder to families with incomes of $400, 000. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was the most substantial reform of the tax code in recent decades, but its provisions were a mixed bag for many. Both candidates support sending money to parents, with Trump continuing the current child tax credit and Harris expanding it and adding a newborn bonus.

Trump has promised not to cut Medicare, much as he did in 2016, and while his budgets as president did envision spending reductions, they were mostly minor and came from. Trump’s attorneys argue that his criminal hush money case should be dismissed because it “threats the functioning” of the U. S. government. Sen. Scott Wiener is proposing additional money for city attorneys and legal aid groups to combat President-elect Donald Trump’s policies.

Family caregiving had a “political moment” this election cycle, according to AARP. President-elect Donald Trump touted a caregiver tax credit, and Kamala Harris’s campaign is pushing a version of the credit intended to fight child poverty. The Trump administration has made big promises on issues of enormous consequence to Americans, such as the economy, immigration, education, healthcare, and abortion.

In summary, former President Donald Trump has made significant tax relief promises during his campaign, including a tax credit for family caregivers and bipartisan legislation to provide relief to American families and workers during the coronavirus outbreak. However, the Trump administration’s budget has prioritized military spending over social safety net programs, denying vulnerable children and youth the necessary income and healthcare.
