Walz and Vance both tout child-care issues, with some differences – msn/WaPost
“Both sides have said they would permanently expand the child tax credit, which offers families up to $2,000 per child. A pandemic-era expansion, which boosted the credit to $3,600 per child in 2021, temporarily lifted millions of children out of poverty and reduced the child poverty rate to an all-time low. But those gains were quickly reversed once the extra payments expired: Childhood poverty more than doubled in 2022 and has continued to rise since.”
