On the recordAugust 12, 2022
Today, I rise in support of the Inflation Reduction Act. Oh, what a day in America. From lowering prescription drug prices for seniors, to closing tax loopholes on the wealthiest corporations, to making the largest investment in clean energy in history to tackle the climate crisis, the Inflation Reduction Act will help improve the lives of every single American. It will do it all while paying down the deficit. I am particularly proud that the bill includes my climate smart ports provisions with my colleague, Ms. Barragan, which invests in ports across the Nation, like the Port of Wilmington, allowing them to upgrade their facilities, lower their carbon footprint, and create more good-paying union jobs. Madam Speaker, in a session of Congress that has already seen remarkable landmark legislation passed, the Inflation Reduction Act is the capstone of our efforts to deliver. With this bill, we continue to put people over politics.
