CDF Statement on the Inflation Reduction Act
Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) applauds the Senate for passing the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 as it will provide some needed relief for children, youth, and families across the country. The historic investment in clean energy is a pledge to our children’s future, reducing prescription costs and helping families cover health care premiums will help ensure parents do not have to choose between their health and supporting their families, and the billions generated from a new minimum tax on large corporations could one day go toward economic and social benefits for children, youth, and families.
