Today (23 April) England will be celebrating St. Georges Day.

A rather dubious character in history. I'm more a follower of St Edmund a King of East Anglia known as Edmund the Martyr - at least he was English - Unlike George.

The true celebration on the 23 April should be William Shakespeare who enriched the nation.

He was born on 23 April 1564 and died on 23 April 1616 - yes, his Birthday!

In January, lawmakers hammered out a kids-and-companies #tax deal: #Congress would extend a few business tax breaks that had recently expired in exchange for expanding the #ChildTaxCredit. The bipartisan compromise turned out to be a very good bill"

"Today, #Republican senators are trying to kill the legislation...

Some worry about handing President #Biden a win so close to the #election (I’d argue the 400,000 kids lifted out of poverty would be the real winners, but to each their own.)

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said this explicitly in January: “Passing a #tax bill that makes the president look good... means he could be reelected.”
