          There’s several other posts from other news articles that just get to the point and are less click-baity.

          “Child poverty increases sharply after tax credit expiration” (PBS)
          “Many Americans facing hardship as benefits created during COVID-19 end” (PBS)
          “US Child poverty jumped and income declined in 2022 as COVID benefits expired” (modified slightly from the AP title)
