I would remind my friend, the majority leader, that the reason that this bill is not bipartisan is there has been no effort to make it bipartisan. There have been zero committee meetings on this. Ms. Pelosi uses COVID as an excuse to keep us away from Washington so that she can write these liberal grab bag bills on her own. There were no hearings on this in the Ways and Means Committee or I don't think any other committee. I am sure we could have found a bipartisan response to this, but instead they chose, because they have the majority now, to ram through their list of liberal priorities in a massive expansion of the entitlement system under the guise of COVID relief. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Clyde).
