You've never gone to the grocery store with $10 for a week of food for you and a child. A whole lot of people are living day-to-day- lying to the IRS about their number of dependents, just trying to make it through today. The basic daily needs lead to some poor long-term decisions. The people pushing this 'pay later' scheme are scum.

I believe the incremental EITC for an additional dependent is $40/week or more.
