'Should Be a No-Brainer': Biden Pushed to Back Long-Term Child Tax Credit Extension
"Putting money in the pockets of those who need it most is good for the children and families receiving it, good for local businesses, and helps protect this fragile economic recovery."
"The expanded child tax credit is popular, good for the economy, and a key element of President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. There is absolutely no reason for Congress to consider anything but a long-term extension of the policy."
\u201cI can\u2019t believe I have to say this, but it is a terrible idea to cut the Child Tax Credit, one of the most popular policies with the American public.\u201d— Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan Omar) 1634666367
