I thank my friend, the chairman of the Budget Committee, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation and the American people support this legislation because it is good for families, for seniors, for businesses, and it provides immediate economic relief to the people who are struggling right now. $2,000 to every American, supported by Democrats and Republicans. Speeding up vaccinations, supported by Democrats and Republicans. Extending unemployment benefits, supported by Democrats and Republicans. Expanding the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit, cutting child poverty, supported by Democrats and Republicans.

Independents across the country support it. Democrats support it. This is the time to act.
