Mr. Speaker, hypocrisy and irresponsibility are alive and well today in this Chamber. At the same time Nancy Pelosi is calling for oversight of the $3 trillion we have already spent, she is bringing up a reckless bill to spend $3 trillion more. Much of this bill has nothing to do with COVID-19. Instead, this bill is a radical Democrat wish list: permanent mail-in voting, amnesty and stimulus checks for illegal immigrants, and more incentives for Americans not to work. Across America, citizens are coming together to help their friends and neighbors. For all its faults, Congress did come together in a bipartisan way to pass numerous measures to fight this pandemic. But Speaker Pelosi has broken that spirit of cooperation. In choosing to play partisan politics and go at this one alone, she has set a terrible example for a nation in crisis. Instead of pausing the spending to evaluate our needs and engage with President Trump and the Senate, we are here today simply to appease the fringe elements of the Democratic Party.
