$8,000 Per Child: How Biden’s Child Tax Credit Will Change Lives
*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus Payment Update, * The care credits allow parents to claim up to 50 percent of child care-related expenses like daycare, nannies, camp, and transportation costs. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Households who are eligible for the tax credit must have an adjusted gross income of up to $125,000. If the income is above that threshold, then the tax credits will phase out at 50 percent. So, instead of receiving the full $8,000 for one child, the household would get $4,000.

The US Stake In Nicaragua And Honduras’s 2021 Elections
The issues that concern the US in Central America are rooted in more than a century of intervention in its politics. The forms of intervention have changed, of course, but always based on the fundamental aim of pursuing US corporate interests.

This brought a further shift in US intervention, towards what William Robinson (who... read more
