They are going to be combing through your bank account. Why? Because they have to generate hundreds of billions of dollars to spend on more inflation-inducing spending. That is right, according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, you are going to have over $4 trillion of spending with $1.5 trillion of new taxes. By the way, that is $2.5 trillion of additional debt, even though the President says there is no cost. No cost, just $2.5 trillion of debt. But these IRS agents are going to have to account for over $200 billion to find money from your checking accounts. That is what they are trying to do by dark of night. We started the morning at 8 a.m. We are here after 9 p.m. starting to get into the details of this bill. No wonder they don't want a CBO score. No wonder they want to do this by dark of night. This is going to induce more inflation that is hurting families all across America. Listen to what the voters of Virginia said. Stop the madness. Defeat this bill. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished majority leader.
