                            CHILD TAX CREDIT

  (Mr. MACKENZIE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MACKENZIE. Mr. Speaker, over the last 4 years, every American has 
felt the pain of inflation, and this financial strain has hit working 
families particularly hard. Large price increases set back millions of 
parents, forcing them to dig into their savings and even go into debt 
sometimes just to pay their bills.
  That is why, as a part of budget reconciliation, Congress passed 
legislative language to permanently increase the child tax credit, 
index it to inflation, and add a $500 increase, bringing the total tax 
credit to $2,500. Changes to the tax code, including expanding the 
child tax credit, will help save the average family more than $1,300 a 
year. It is time to deliver real tax relief for working families that 
they so desperately need.
  I call on my colleagues in the Senate to protect these provisions and 
make sure that working families are being helped and, after 4 years of 
rising costs, finally deliver parents the relief that they deserve.
