I don’t know.  

Yes you do.  Or you should because everyone else knows. 

 

Here's a hint.  They were going to leave her on the committees.  That's obvious because almost all of them voted to keep her there.

 

So....yes....they view her as a part of the future of the party.

Maybe the future of the GOP should be tied to caring more about families instead of big corporations. 

 

Mitt Romney is trying to do so with his proposal

President Biden has proposed to help families and cut poverty by reforming the Child Tax Credit so that people who have no labor income are still eligible. That would be an improvement, but as analyst Matt Bruenig has argued at the People's Policy Project, it would be better to set up a traditional child allowance payment (sending $374 per month to the parents of every child 18 or under).

Shockingly, none other than Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has produced a child allowance proposal of his own. His would be somewhat less generous than Bruenig's plan, but still better than Biden's tax credit expansion. It would be more generous, routed through the Social Security Administration instead of the IRS, and include a maternity grant for birth expenses. Here is a table summarizing the differences:

Romney also includes several pay-fors. He would get rid of various child tax credits, which is fine because he's replacing them with something better. He would get rid of the federal contribution to TANF (traditional cash welfare), but that also means little since the program is almost dead already — just $3.5 billion in federal money actually went out in the form of cash welfare in 2019. However, he would cut the Earned Income Tax Credit in a way that would be a net loss for a small handful of families, and phase out the benefit when he should just raise taxes on the rich instead.

It could be better. But all told, this is an astoundingly great plan coming from a Republican. And with his pay-fors, it could be made permanent through the reconciliation process, which only requires 51 votes in the Senate. Biden has been well and truly outflanked from the left on family benefits.

I would bet my life savings if it were allowed that she will not be higher than a congresswomen in 10 years with no leadership position in the Republican Caucus.

 

Hope we are both still around here in a few years to see if your statement is indeed factual.

Have you ever wondered if Archy is a parody account? For a Trump supporter to complain about extreme nepotism... that's just...

 

It couldn't be more on brand for what I expect from a Trump voter.

There is no such thing as illegal nepotism in the private sector.  Not knowing this seems to be on brand for many folks in this country
