Shortly, this body will begin debating the most radical and expensive spending bill in our Nation's history. Shockingly, Democrats are intent on moving forward without the CBO's final cost analysis. But independent estimates put the bill's price tag around $4 trillion, twice what Democrats claim. This level of reckless and unpaid-for spending is unsustainable. On top of that, the problematic provisions in this bill are a mile long. It will heighten the border crisis, undermine American energy, and worsen the inflation crisis. It will raise taxes on hardworking families and calls for hiring 87,000 new IRS agents. Unbelievably, one of the biggest parts of this bill is a special tax break for the wealthy. The list of problems goes on and on, but the bottom line is this massive bill represents cradle-to-grave socialism. That is not what America stands for. Madam Speaker, please join me and reject this radical legislation. ____________________
