Let’s start w/ the bill’s failure to deliver for families on the #ChildTaxCredit – 17 million kids today do not get the full $2,000 max credit b/c their families don’t earn enough – these are parents who drive delivery trucks, clean offices, care for the elderly, etc.

The #ChildTaxCredit lifted 2.4 million children out of poverty in 2024, but making the $2,200 credit fully refundable could have lifted 1.4 million more, an opportunity Congress and President Trump missed. www.cbpp.org/blog/analyzi...
