DeLauro | D000216 | delauro.house.gov | delauro | https://delauro.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) delivered the following remarks on the House Floor in support of the Build Back Better Act. A video of DeLauro's remarks can be found here. "The Build Back Better Act strengthens our economy and changes the lives of millions of Americans. "It fights inflation because it is fully paid for by making big corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share. No one making under $400,000 will pay a penny more in taxes. "It expands and improves the Child Tax Credit, the biggest tax cut for working families with children – a transformative policy that I have been fighting for nearly 20 years. It is a lifeline for the middle class and lifts over 50 percent of children out of poverty. "It guarantees that the cost of child care will not exceed seven percent of a families' income. It includes paid family and medical leave, which responds to the needs of all people so they can take time off to care for themselves or a loved one. "It delivers a historic and once-in-a-generation investment in combatting climate change that cannot wait. It lowers health care costs. It provides Universal Pre-K. I could go on and on. "We have an opportunity to build the architecture for the future for working families. Working and middle-class families across the country are counting on us to build a better and a stronger America. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
