Eleanor Holmes Norton: “Congress is close to delivering the Build Back Better Act this week containing our most comprehensive social provisions…”

“Congress is close to delivering the Build Back Better Act this week containing our most comprehensive social provisions ever. Build Back Better will afford a plethora of gains our country has long sought--from our first significant action on climate change to urgently addressing the 100,000 teacher shortage as our children are returning to school. Congress is in the end zone on this bill now, although many of us are still trying to get prescription drug prices done. And Congress is paying for Build Back Better without adding to the deficit--unlike the last administration that gave tax breaks to those least in need. Mr. Speaker, we will make history with passage of Build Back Better. ____________________”
