Taft loved golf, so much so that it garnered him detractors during his 1908 presidential campaign for playing a "rich man's game." But Taft isn't the only president with an ardent love...

In the lead up to Election Day, presidential candidates had big ambitions for the future of the child tax credit, which is set to expire next year. That looming deadline means Congress will have to take up the credit in 2025, deciding whether to let it lapse, lock it in as is, or expand it further. However, despite what had been proposed on the campaign trail, there is unlikely to be a major expansion to one of the most popular policies for American families, The 19th...
