Madam President, Senator Sanders is right. The child tax credit is one of the most important things this body did. It brought down the child poverty rate by 40 percent almost immediately. We passed it in March. The Secretary of the Treasury had it up and running by July. It made a huge difference in people's lives. I appreciate especially the work that Senator Bennet and also Senator Booker and Senator Warnock have done on this. But I ask my colleagues to vote no because this will bring the bill down--a very good bill. We will continue to work hard on this every step of the way. I yield to Senator Bennet. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Colorado.
