孩童是国家未来之希望

 美国税务局今天向三千六百万个家庭发出通知，他们将从七月份开始接到对孩童的定期支票。

 在拜登政府一兆九千亿的援助国人之计划案下，六岁以下之孩童可在二〇二一年得到三千六百元，年龄在六至十七岁可得到三千元的省税补助，这些支票将从七月开始到十二月间寄出。

 过去一年多来，由於疫情之侵害，许多生活在失业和贫穷线下的家庭，由於家中有孩童，更让生活变得雪上加霜，政府為了救助这些贫民戸，同时要维护孩童之成长，因而伸出援手。

 為数三千多万个家庭，无疑是一个非常龎大的数字，代表了多少尚在飢饿之不幸孩子们，他们是我们国家未来的希望。

 我们更要呼吁政府，除了為孩子们得到饱暖，更要重视他们的学校教育，因為他们的未来是我们共同之责任。

Children Are our Hope For The Future 

The IRS has issued a letter to 36 million families explaining that they may be eligible for a monthly Child Tax Credit payment starting in July.

In the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed in March, a one-year expansion of the CTC was included that increased the credit amount and allows it to be distributed in periodic payments in advance.

The maximum credit in 2021 is $3,600 for children under six and $3,000 for children between the ages of 6 and 17.

We are very glad the Biden administration is helping so many families

especially for the children.

In the last several years because of the coronavirus pandemic, many parents of young children lost their jobs and the kids really suffered as a result.

We have seen many cars lined up in food lines trying to feed their families.

It is very sad in America that we still have that many hungry people.

All these kids need to have enough food to survive. In the meantime, they also need to go to school to learn and get educated.

After all, all these kids are the future of our nation.
