For the first time in half a year, families on Friday are going without a monthly deposit from the child tax credit.
By the Biden administration's math, the expanded child tax credit and its monthly payments were a policy success that paid out $93 billion over six months. More than 36 million families received the payments in December. The payments were $300 monthly for each child who was 5 and younger and $250 monthly for children between the ages of 6 and 17.
Young people are much more likely to prioritize issues like climate change over the national debt than older generations when hitting the voting booth, research shows. NBCLX political editor Noah Pransky explores the reasons for this generational divide. There's an academic debate over whether the credit could suppress employment in the long term, with most studies suggesting that the impact would be statistically negligible.
