As someone who gets full benefit from the 2k tax rebate I am disappointed in it. This is just terrible policy. If you can afford to have a single income to raise kids you don't need the tax break at the expense of other taxpayers.
Much better policy to help children and families would have been to direct all of the benefit into the UCB. At least all families would be benefited even though it's still a broad brush.
I would have much rather seen support directed at low income earners.
