We are at critical crossroads as we work to recover after the health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic here at home and around the world. As we look to our future, we are going to build back better to create an economy that works for every American and all families that leaves no one behind. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the lives of millions of Americans by reducing costs for everything from prescription drugs to childcare; creating good-paying union jobs by addressing the urgency of the climate crisis; cutting taxes for working families; and making sure that none of these investments add to the deficit by making the wealthiest individuals and largest corporations pay their fair share in taxes. Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this investment in our Nation's future. ____________________
