It's exciting to see our new President make helping lower income families a fiscal priority! An expanded, fully-refundable child tax credit would get $ to low/middle income families with children. That policy should get bipartisan support... cnb.cx/3ih8zV4

Biden’s stimulus proposal would boost these tax credits for families
