Cornyn Touts Pro-Family, Child Care Provisions in Working Families Tax Cuts Act

Published | Video Starts at 03:11

And while there's no silver bullet that can magically make the cost of raising a family go away, Republicans have delivered provisions in the working family tax cuts that will attempt to lessen that burden. For example, back in 2017, Republicans doubled the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000 in 2017. 2025 that was scheduled to go back to $1,000. But Senate Republicans built on their prior success and permanently increased the child tax credit to $2,000 and $2,200 per child. (03:11–03:24)
