Tom Rice: “I would remind the gentleman that, due to the enormity of this bill…”

On the recordMarch 10, 2021

I would remind the gentleman that, due to the enormity of this bill, if $800 million of this bill goes to food assistance, that represents less than one one-thousandths of the total. That is a very tiny, small fraction. And the prior bills were done in a bipartisan fashion. I am certain we could have worked in a bipartisan fashion if there was any attempt to do that. But, in fact, this is just a ram job by the liberals to push through a vastly expanding entitlement system. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Arrington).
