Thank you to Chairman @RepJasonSmith for your leadership on this. Let's get it done "

Later that day, Yakym addressed complaints from Democrats regarding the Child Tax Credit. He reminded them that during their control of both Congress and the White House they allowed the credit to expire. He emphasized that the current bill from the Ways and Means GOP aims to make this tax credit permanent. "Suddenly, Democrats are complaining about the Child Tax Credit, so I had to remind them: they controlled the House, Senate, and White House and let it expire."

Despite being eight years past those events, he accused Democrats of continuing similar strategies in their political narratives. "Even the @nytimes admits Democrats have been misleading the public about the 2017 Trump tax cuts."
