Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday made the incredible claim that his proposed child tax credit would "put 720 million women back in the workforce."

The former vice president was speaking at the Workers’ Presidential Summit in Philadelphia when he made the remarks about his proposal for an $8,000 child tax credit. He said his words made him "sound like a wonk."

"You get a tax break for a race horse. Why in God's name couldn't we provide an $8,000 tax credit for everybody who has childcare costs?" Biden said. "It would put 720 million women back in the workforce. It would increase the GDP—to sound like a wonk here—by about eight-tenths of one percent. It would grow the economy."

Considering only about 330 million people live in the United States at all, it is obvious he is incorrect. It's unclear what studies or statistics he may have had in mind.

While Biden has touted the $8,000 tax credit in at least three speeches over the last month, he opposed expanding a childcare tax credit in 1981. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.), who recently dropped out of the Democratic primary for president, slammed Biden in early August for his record on women working outside the home, saying she thinks he is "full of BS."
