You're listening to the Judicial Watch Weekly Update with Tom Fitt.

Hey everyone, Judicial Watch President Tom Fittin here with our weekly update on social media.

Thank you as always for joining us this week.

A lot going on, including up until this very minute.

So much happening in the area of corruption, so I'll try to bring you up to date

on the big stories this week not only here in Washington DC where Congress is

trying to further destroy the country with some immigration shenanigans,

but what Judicial Watch is doing in terms of trying to hold the corrupt government to account.

were desperate for those business tax fixes and these were taxes. were taxes or I wouldn't say taxes per say, but as you know, businesses get the right off loans and expenses and such.

And in order to save money, government comes in and says you can't write off a business expense that you previously could.

So that was a lot of what was at issue, and of course I'm being very simple in describing it, or very surface-like in describing it.

But the other big deal was the expansion, as alleged by conservatives, of the Child Tax Credit.

Now some conservatives were supportive of it

because they believe that children are important

and that parents, the tax system doesn't account for the costs in raising children and certainly folks who are at the bottom of the economic scale need as much help as possible in terms of supporting their decision to have children and raise them.
