One year ago, House Democrats and President Biden delivered the American Rescue Plan, an historic effort that uplifted tens of millions of families, distributed life-saving vaccines to hundreds of millions of people, helped open nearly 100% of schools, and powered the fastest recovery of any advanced economy in the world.
Despite their efforts to rewrite history, not a single House Republican voted for the American Rescue Plan.
Here’s just a few of the major accomplishments Democrats delivered – and Republicans voted to block – this past year with the American Rescue Plan:
-
The greatest year of job creation in American history as 7.4 million Americans got back to work since President Biden was elected
-
The lowest rate of people on unemployment insurance since 1970 – more than 50 years
-
The Child Tax Credit reached a record nearly 40 million families including 65 million children
-
The Earned Income Tax Credit was tripled, providing significant relief to 17 million workers without dependent children
-
More Americans are saving money on health care thanks to Democrats expanding access through the ACA
-
Nearly 100% of schools are open for in-person learning
-
More than 100,000 small restaurants and bars stayed open thanks to relief from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund
-
More than 34,000 cities, towns, and counties, saved jobs and prevented layoffs and furloughs thanks to funding for state and local governments
DCCC Chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney
“The results speak for themselves: Democratic leadership strengthens our economy and working families are better off today than they were last year. While Republicans continue to vote against their own constituents, Democrats are going to keep building on this progress and delivering the results voters want to see.”
