Democrats’ new welfare checks are 'transformative' in a way most people oppose

Democrats have been fond of calling their latest “Build Back Better” spending plan “transformative.” But minus key exceptions, it’s just a trillion-dollar grab bag of recycled government “stimulus” benefits.

One of these exceptions is the “child allowance” payments now being sent out monthly to some 35 million households, including millions of nonworking adults for the first time. Those payments, extended by the plan, would truly transform the system for the worse.
