House candidate Jack Schlossberg proposes monthly Child Tax Credit payments
Source: ABC News
New York Democratic congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg is unveiling a new plan that would increase the IRS Child Tax Credit and make payments monthly instead of yearly.
The extra benefit payments -- part of what he's calling the "Monthly Moms Bonus" idea -- would be financed in part by the $1 billion that some Senate Republicans are seeking to use to help fund the White House State Ballroom, according to Schlossberg's campaign. Proposed tax reforms would cover the rest of the cost, the campaign says.
The proposed GOP funding for White House security updates has not passed the Senate and it remains unclear whether it will make it to President Donald Trump's desk to become law.
Schlossberg, who is one of former President John F. Kennedy's grandchildren, is expected to discuss the idea at a campaign event on Mother's Day alongside his mother, Caroline Kennedy.

I can support a child tax credit. Associating it with Trump misspending on a vanity project, not so much.
