Instead of rewarding low wage employers by giving their workers a tax credit, raise the minimum wage and establish paid education programs at that wage for anyone without a job, regardless of immigration status. Increase the child tax credit to $1000 per child per month with pay (paid for be ending EITC, TANF, SNAP, child exemptions, and the deductions for property taxes and mortgage interest). The math works, but the willingnesss is not there, even among Democrats. At least we are sure the House measures will die in the Senate, including the additions to the Budget Resolution.
