Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D- N.Y., on Thursday continued her attack against former vice president Joe Biden over a 1981 op-ed the then- Sen. Biden authored arguing against the expansion of a childcare tax credit.
Biden's op-ed, entitled"Congress is Subsidizing Deterioration of Family" argued against the expansion of the tax credit for families making more than the equivalent of $85,000 in today's dollars -- or more if they chose to have two parents work.
Pew Research data shows that while dual-income families were on the rise in the 1980s, for single income households, it was far more common for fathers to be the sole breadwinner for families than mothers. On the campaign trail, Biden has said that he supports universal pre-K, and giving a tax credit to families for child care.
