    Hey, Joe Machin and other CTC doubters. Have you ever heard of this funny thing called benefit-cost analysis? You know, where you consider the benefits of a program as well the costs? If not, read pp.74-89 of the 2019 NAS Poverty Report for the evidence on the benefits of a CTC.

    Does the BBB framework contain all of the good elements? No. But it represents a huge leap forward in investments for children, families and the economy. Reducing child poverty by 40%? Making permanent the expansion to the lowest income families? This is great policy.
