The White House on Tuesday confirmed President Joe Biden wants to see the child tax credit expansion—which was added as part of the latest stimulus bill—become a permanent policy moving forward.

The child allowance grants were increased as part of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, and drastically expands the nation’s welfare state. Some experts called it a move toward universal basic income.
