So a rule that requires a 3/5 majority can be reversed by a simple majority? Makes perfect sense.

One of the big changes in the latest Senate tax bill is, on its surface, a big benefit for families. The bill would double the child tax credit, now set at $1,000 per child, to $2,000.

But if you look at the details, there’s something unseemly about how the credit expansion works. Basically, the bill does little to expand access to the credit for the poor and a lot to expand access for affluent families, including those of members of Congress.

Put it this way. A single mother with two children working full time at the minimum wage would only get $75 more under the proposal, as calculations from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities show. But Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who along with his wife earned $335,963 in 2014 according to their tax return, would get a more than $2,200 cut.

Another shameless, hideous piece of legislation from the death throes of the modern Republican Party. :roll:

I can at least vaguely understand some of the stupid ideological arguments for his other actions, but this is 100% without merit.
