    Didn’t the child poverty rate jump because so many had just been lifted out of it because of the expanded child tax credit? And similarly with medicaid, wasn’t that because of the expanded coverage due to covid? (In other words Democrats did good things but now don’t have enough seats in the Senate/Congress to keep those temporary measures permanent?)

    Just seem like weird choices. “We fixed these things, Republicans broke them, the economy must be nonsense!”
