We Need to End the Embarrassment of Having the Highest Rate of Childhood Poverty of Almost Any Major Country on Earth: Sen. Sanders

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “I happen to believe it's important that we end the embarrassment of having the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth. That's why I’m delighted that she is talking about making the child tax credit, which lowered childhood poverty by 40 percent as a result of the American rescue plan permanent. I happen to believe, and I hope she will support expanding Social Security by lifting the cap on taxable income so we can increase Social Security benefits.”
