“In December, this House passed a COVID-19 relief compromise, during which time we pledged to the American people that we would do more. Now is the time for us to deliver on that promise. The American Rescue Plan is that promise delivered. It is something that enables us to put people back to work; put kids back in schools; to put $1,400 checks in people's hands, the people who are struggling to keep body and soul together, to make ends meet, the people who really need this money. No American economist of repute disagrees that this kind of relief is necessary. Now is the time for us to do it. Let's come together and enact the American Rescue Plan. ____________________”
