The BBB is not THE solution, but is an important step, in a series of steps, to invest in the lives and livelihoods of the people – especially the 140 million people living poor and with low incomes in this nation.

- 6 million 3- & 4 year-olds will benefit from universal pre-K

- Extends Child Tax Credit for millions of parents
- $250 million saved by giving government power to negotiate drug prices
- 4-week paid family and medical leave
