        Looks like it.

        $2 billion retroactive tax break each to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon … bill would provide at least $3 in corporate tax breaks for every $1 in tax cuts for working families with children. That is not a good deal.

        Ok, yeah, fuck giving $4b to some of the world’s richest murderers and fuck disguising a pointless payout to the rich as helping the poor.

        By ensuring the rich get more, this bill would have increased inequality.

          But of course, that’s not why Vance skipped the vote. He didn’t want to be seen voting no on a bill that appeared to help kids.
