The hot topic in Congress right now is the reconciliation package which plans to tackle a number of long-standing priorities. I strongly support many of these — for instance, I am a leading advocate in Congress for closing the Medicaid coverage gap and have been a strong supporter of tax credits to promote renewable energy.
However, the challenge is the cost and scale of this change and how much to do at once. The Child Tax Credit (CTC), in its current form, would cost over $1 trillion over the 10-year life of the bill. If we have to scale the overall package down to $1.5 trillion, the CTC alone could consume almost the entire allocation.
Carolyn Bourdeaux is a working mom and the smart, experienced leader we need now more than ever. She's fighting to expand affordable health care, build back our economy by putting working people first, and make Congress work for us again — not special interests.
Carolyn is not taking a dime of corporate PAC money — so every donation you're able to contribute goes even further with our grassroots campaign to re-elect Carolyn.
