I think what we have tried to do over the years is to address the issue of poverty.

Failing to extend the child tax credit expansion for lower-income families means 12 million Americans will be plunged deeper in poverty.

By expanding the child tax credit, we can finally make a direct and a critical impact for all families with children.

We need to make sure that the child tax credit will not go away, and that it will be permanent.
