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.

The Senate Republican Conference released a memorandum outlining President Joe Biden’s partisan “infrastructure” wish list that will destroy the job market.
The memo details what the consequences of the wish list would mean for the American people, should the plan become effective. The “partisan plan” is set to “kill jobs” for hard-working Americans and will create a “slush fund” for the left at taxpayers’ expense, according to the memo. Some Democrats have made arguments that paid leave, child care, and caregiving are “infrastructure” and should be part of the package. The Republicans argue the “jobs plan” will really pose as a job killer, and the “infrastructure” will create a slush fund for the left’s wishes.
