Democrats are seeking ways to ease the burden on parents by transforming the child tax credit into a monthly allowance that experts say could radically reduce child poverty in the United States. "A program that is geared toward giving families money to reduce child poverty is money well spent," says Katherine Michelmore, assistant professor of public administration and international affairs. She was quoted in the Sinclair Broadcast Group article, "Dems aim to increase, expand child tax credit, but some Republicans object."
