If they had better targeted it to help the poor Manchin probably would have signed on to it.

1. The tax credit is still there, they just phased out the TEMPORARY increase for COVID. The monthly checks were only an advance…

2. The poverty line for a family of 3 is $22K. Does anybody really believe that a family that went from $21.5K to $22.5K had a substantive quality of life improvement?

Nasty little secret...Many government programs are not based on poverty level, but are based on a set percentage above the poverty level.

As an example, back in the dim mists of time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, a family with that income would have received free care at an LSU hospital at 150% of the poverty level, or in their case, a bump over $30K. After that, payment was assessed on a sliding scale.
