Three decades of evidence from the U.S., UK, and Canada proves tax credits don't just reduce child poverty; they fundamentally reshape life trajectories from birth through adulthood.
Nice breakdown here, Dave. Child Tax Credits is one policy where the bulk of the literature seems to be in their favor. The long-term benefits outweigh the short-term costs. If anything, I think we can build a case that most approaches to subsidizing children do not go far enough.
I have an essay completed on this as well, but holding off to further refine my thinking before publishing.
