DeLauro Statement on Tax Deal Framework

Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) released a statement in response to the announced tax framework.

 “The recently announced tax framework fails to sufficiently improve the Child Tax Credit, leaving millions of middle-class families without a tax cut like they received in 2021, and keeping millions of children in preventable poverty because of a policy choice. 

“The agreement lacks equity, providing a massive tax cut to big corporations without offering middle- and working-class families true economic security, as was achieved with the expanded, monthly Child Tax Credit under the American Rescue Plan – the largest tax cut for working families in a generation. It is crucial that the tax framework be improved to ensure a substantial tax cut to middle-and working-class families, rather than solely benefitting big corporations.”
