I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Build Back Better plan is a big, bloated joke. The problem is it is not funny. At a time when inflation is skyrocketing, House Democrats are doubling down on their socialist wish list. Is your family struggling financially after endless COVID shutdowns? Don't worry. The Democrats have a plan. They are going to be giving $80 billion to the IRS to double the number of agents who can track your spending habits. Worried about whether you can afford to put gas in your car or heat your home this year? Well, House Democrats have a plan for that too: huge tax hikes on natural gas, kneecapping American-made energy products to pour billions into the Green New Deal.
