President Joe Biden used his first address before a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening to talk about the “American Families Plan” for low- and middle-income families.
Biden mentioned his “American Families Plan” will give affordable child care, guarantee that low- and middle-income families will not have to pay “more than seven percent of their income for high-quality care for children up to the age of five,” and “expand the tax credit for every child in a family.” This would provide “up to $3,000 in a ‘child tax credit’ for children over six and up to $3,600 for children under six.” In addition, for two parents with two kids, the tax credit would be up to $7,200 “to help take care of your family,” Biden said.
