Romney Challenges Administration to Work on Bipartisan Family Policy Following Failure of BBB

Statement

Following the failure of Democrats' "Build Back Better" legislation, U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) challenged the Administration to actually work with Republicans and Democrats on a bipartisan solution on lasting, fiscally-responsible family policy:

"Now that it is clear "Build Back Better" isn't moving forward and with bipartisan opposition to extending the President's ill-crafted Child Tax Credit, the Administration has an opportunity to do what it failed to do before--actually work with Republicans and Democrats on a lasting, fiscally-responsible CTC reform. My Family Security Act, a plan that I introduced in February to streamline existing family policies into one child benefit, has been analyzed and praised by progressives and conservatives alike and could serve as a starting point. Concerns about how changes to the CTC could impact a family's connection to work can and should be addressed. Legislation that impacts something as important as our children must be done on a bipartisan basis, and I urge my colleagues to come to the negotiating table to get something done for American families."
