The country's child poverty rate more than doubled between 2021 and 2022, a new report published Tuesday from the Census Bureau revealed, an increase that is largely the fault of Congressional Republicans' blocking the Child Tax Credit enhancement for 2022, according to President Joe Biden.
Today's reported rise in child poverty is the result of Congressional Republicans' choice to block our Child Tax Credit enhancements and advance tax cuts for wealthy and big corporations instead.
President Biden proposed an extension of the enhancements to the Child Tax Credit into 2022 in the Build Back Better Act. Though the legislation passed the House, it stalled in the Senate and the enhancements were excluded from the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year.
Despite the more pressing matters on the table for some, many Republicans welcome the opportunity to regain control of the government to approve additional tax cuts.
