Andrew Clyde: “I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding. Madam Speaker, this monstrosity of a bill is the most progressive…”

“I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding. Madam Speaker, this monstrosity of a bill is the most progressive and expensive piece of legislation in our Nation's history. It will fundamentally alter the course of our great Nation by codifying the far left's dangerous policies, such as components of the Green New Deal, taxpayer-funded abortion, and the weaponization of the IRS. In fulfilling the far left's wish list, this bankrupts America. And it does so, Madam Speaker, all while Americans are reeling from record- high rates of inflation that are crippling their pocketbooks, emptying shelves at the supermarket, and making gasoline prices skyrocket. This compounded with the fact that the Biden administration refuses to address the myriad of crises plaguing Americans across the country, I am convinced that my counterparts on the other side of the aisle have no desire to set America up to succeed, nor are they interested in embracing the freedoms that we know and love, the very freedoms that serve as the foundational underpinnings of our great democracy. No, this bill moves us not just one step toward socialism, it propels us into Big Government socialism. That is because this bill provides: Universal preschool childcare from birth to the tune of nearly $400 billion, both of which are great opportunities for Washington- controlled curriculums and bureaucrats to indoctrinate our children in the most developmental of years.…”
