“I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time, and I will close on our side. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day, it is not just about the legislation here. It is about two competing visions for America. Democrats' record speaks for itself. We passed the largest infrastructure bill in a generation, and my Republican friends are falling over each other trying to take credit for infrastructure projects in their district that most of them voted against. We passed the largest climate change bill in world history. We brought jobs back from overseas. Inflation is coming down, job growth is solid, and we are working to guarantee that all Americans have an opportunity to succeed. We are fighting for workers. We want opportunity for kids, success for families, and dignity for our seniors. We support our veterans. We want democracy to be secure at home and around the world. We have a vision for a better future and an idea on how to get there. These Republican bills, once again, show the Republicans are more interested in division and taking us backwards. They have no ideas to make life better for Americans. They only have Donald Trump and Project 2025. That is it. That is it. Here we are debating appropriations bills. We were supposed to be having four on the floor today.…”
