income working families. families working hard but making minimum wage or 20,000 or $25,000 didn t get the full tax credit. that doesn t make sengs. they are struggling the most. this will make 26 1/2 million children in those hardworking families get the full and expanded benefit as families much more secure in the middle class who still, nonetheless, can use that extra 500, $600 a month to help make ends meet. president biden said he would like to extend the credit indefinitely. republicans have already labeled it welfare. let me quote marco rubio who says president biden has q wrrk quote, transformed pro worker, pro family child tax credit into an anti-worker welfare check. how do you respond to that? well, he could not be more dead wrong.
