Political Quotes

“Republicans ran this past election year to make America safer and more prosperous. Now, we are a year into this, and people are seeing that the comprehensive economic plan that the Republicans have put into place is working for them. This year, going forward, Americans are going to see even more money in their pockets, and that is thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut law. The average American taxpayer will see a significant cut this year in their taxes, which is a direct effect of the law. Families in every single State in the Nation are feeling relief. Now, key parts of this tax law went into effect just on January 1, and they are going to make life much more affordable for American families. Republicans increased the child tax credit to $2,200 per child, and they made it permanent. And it is per child every year. That means for a couple in Cody, WY, with two children: $4,400 a year. That is money to help buy groceries, to help with education, and it helps with that child's activities. Republicans also raised the limit in the dependent care flexible spending accounts. We raised it to $7,500 from $5,000. So a working mother in Casper, WY, can now set aside $7,500, pretax, for childcare. Senator Katie Britt of Alabama championed that, really pushed it through, and worked very hard. Additionally, Republicans are doing things Congress has never done before. We have now created a guaranteed savings account for every American child.”
