So I have a friend I told about this when Wonkette first mentioned it, since she's raising her 2 grandsons, one of whom has severe emotional problems from his parents and is not in her care, and she is still waiting on the IRS to give her info from the last time she paid taxes years ago.

I'm hoping they get educated to get high-paying jobs so they can keep Social Security benefits going!!

People should earn what they need.

Which means a MUCH HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE.

Ta, Dok. I have a client who is head of household. His daughter lives with him, and so do his two granddaughters. This is custom made for someone like him. Sent myself the links so I can help him set this up.

Seems to me that individuals should actually benefit from their investment, sweetie.

"One of them was an 11 year old boy who would never be capable of drawing breath on his own."

That is heartbreaking.

Apparently the Kevlar vests LEOs are obligated to wear are inadequate protection for the officer's inordinately delicate fee-fees.

This has been eating at my brain lately. In talk of Covid vaccines on the news, they mentioned the statistic that there are 28 million children under 12. There are 328 million people in the US. That's 8.5 percent of the population under 12. Does anyone else find that concerning? Because I find it very concerning.

Maybe this CTC (and its continuation under the reconciliation bill) will allow youngsters to have more kids. Seems like we might need that, if we want to stay healthy as a nation. I'm hoping for a big post-Covid baby boom.
