"To me, build back better means rebuilding our economy for a more competitive future, not the fading dynamics of the past."

"Support American workers by ensuring every project built with federal funding upholds strong domestic content and prevailing wage requirements."

"This budget is an opportunity for us to meet that need, if we intend to lead this nation in ways that avoid the most dangerous and irreversible aspects of climate change."

"I propose three principles for our build back better budget. Jobs. Focus on smart, strategic investments that create and retain American jobs."
