    A substantial expansion of the child tax credit - not just in value, but in scope - should be a non-negotiable for conservatives of all stripes.

    A huge, unironic, "big, if true." Hopeful that ND can clear this up on the record soon.

    Update emailed to me from Notre Dame VP of Public Affairs and Comms: "Abortion is not and will not be an allowable expense in the medical flexible spending accounts available to Notre Dame employees."

    Lol'ing so hard at McBrien earnestly insisting that John XXIII is the standard against which all popes before and after him will be measured. One can only imagine what he'd say of Francis...

    Richard McBrien's "Lives of the Popes" contains a section where he ranks the best and worst popes. He ranks only two as "outstanding". Pius X is ranked among the worst, in the company of John XII and Alexander VI.

    To pass tax reform, Republicans need to ensure middle-class families will meaningfully benefit.

    This is the take I’ve been meaning to write and did a much better job.

    Today I'm at IFS writing about how all you pet owners are destroying America's demographic future! (Actually not but that's the consensus of the Internet on this issue)

    Sad news today of death of the great health economist Uwe Reinhardt. Here's a provocative LTE he wrote just recently.

    Collins says she is working to change the tax bill to raise the top individual rate, and possibly the corporate rate, to allow for more relief via state and local deduction and/or refundable child credit

    The evident disdain for the “cultural right” and the premise that the only goal that matters is economic growth is enough to make one wish for failure.

    If tax reform fails, it'll be 100% the fault of shortsighted business groups, not Democratic opposition.

    I normally like the Bishops to be cautious when weighing in on matters of prudential judgement, but this letter is appropriate and accurate

    From the 's statement in opposition to the Republican tax plan. They're 1000% right.

    House's adoption tax credit elimination also means many social conservatives' attention is pulled away from CTC expansion.

    Republicans very concerned about the math of adoption tax credit, which costs 0.2% of their tax cut.
