Larson: "Time for Progress"

Statement

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) joined President Obama in supporting the passage of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, which included billions in tax breaks for working families via the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, as well as the Brady/Larson R&D Tax Credit and the Johnson/Larson Wrongful Convictions Tax Relief legislation.

"Though Congress has long been deeply divided, today we demonstrated we can find common ground for the good of the American people," said Larson. "It is past time for us to make progress and move forward. Though this bill was far from perfect, it contains vital tax breaks for children and working families. Without the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Creditprovisions, over 50 million Americans would have been at risk of losing all or part of the credits they rely on by 2018. We could not let that happen.
