Rubio to vote 'no' on tax bill unless child tax credit is expanded
By Alexander Bolton and Avery Anapol - 12/14/17 01:54 PM EST

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has threatened to vote against the tax bill, putting the legislation in danger of being delayed past Christmas.

Rubio has told Senate leaders that he will vote against the bill unless the child tax credit is made more generous to help lower-income workers who pay payroll taxes and not regular income taxes.

“Sen. Rubio has consistently communicated to the Senate tax negotiators that his vote on final passage would depend on whether the refundability of the Child Tax Credit was increased in a meaningful way,” said a spokesperson for Rubio.

Predictably, every marginal Pubby Senator is lining up with his hand out.  I expect the Pubbies are going to be short a Senator anyway, I hear McCain's slipping...

I hope conservatives remember this if he decides to run for President again.  It's nothing but an expansion of the welfare state.
