1,300% pay increase in the last 30 or 40 or 50 years to help middle class families get some breathing room. it's a no-brainer, we've got to pass this and get it done. >> sadly not enough for democratic senators, which you need. one of the biggest pullbacks right now is on the child tax credit. you said making it permanent is a no-brainer. now they're talking about a one-year extension and joe manchin may insist on a work requirement for it. if that's the best you can get would you vote on a budget that just has a one-year extension with a work requirement? >> i'm not going to speculate. but an...

Stake, and if she wants to bring it all down, that's going to fall on her feet. >> in terms of the compromises made, free community college is out. our report is that paid family leave will likely be reduced from 12 weeks to four and child tax credit extended one year and joe manchin wants a work requirement for that. are you and other progressives okay with this? >> i'm a progressive. i'm a product of the community college system that allowed me to go to ucla an get my degree in howard university. how do we get there and get relief. one thing we're looking at is looking at the increase in the...
