“Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Inflation Reduction Act. This historic legislation will make real, tangible differences in the lives and livelihoods of people back home in southern California and across the Nation. It is imperative we pass this once-in-a-generation bill today. The American people are struggling to afford medications, health insurance, and their energy expenses, all while battling the impacts of climate change every day. They are desperate for Congress to take action to address the real challenges they are facing in their everyday lives. This is exactly what this bill does. It lowers the costs of prescription drugs for seniors to no more than $2,000 yearly. It curbs the rising costs of utilities and creates good-paying jobs nationwide in the process. It makes healthcare more affordable for millions of Americans by shoring up the Affordable Care Act. Today, we are going to combat climate change, ensure corporations pay their fair share, and reduce prices for workers and families. In fact, we are making the largest and most ambitious investment in clean and renewable energy in our Nation's history, finally reversing years of underinvestment at the IRS and building a fairer tax system that will invest in workers without raising taxes on families and small businesses. Today, we are delivering on a promise made to Americans by passing this critical bill. We must commit to putting people over politics.…”
