Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Congress should provide childcare centers nationwide with resources that will allow them to recover from the many challenges they have endured over the last few months. Unfortunately, this body has yet again missed an opportunity to come together in a bipartisan manner, solve our differences, and tackle an issue we all agree needs to be addressed. Instead, we have more partisanship, more political posturing, and more one-sided legislation on the House floor absent of any committee consideration. Mr. Speaker, American families and childcare providers across the Nation deserve better than the legislation before us. I strongly urge a ``no'' vote on the Democrats' no care for children act, and I yield back the balance of my time.
