The President is trying to help America, help the middle class, help the forgotten. The Build Back Better bill will give people childcare that they need and women to go to work. It will give a child tax credit and make it permanent, lifting half the children in this country out of poverty. It will give elderly people who are infirm and need to be at home elderly in-home care so they can stay in their homes. That is wonderful for those people, something they need. It will provide for family and medical leave, something every other industrial country in the world has. It will put $500 billion in unbelievable investment in the future of our planet, on climate controls, and credits for folks to go into renewables and solar and heat, wind-powered energy, and improving the electrical grid. It will do many wonderful things, and it is all paid for. And the only Americans paying more in taxes are those making $10 million and above, they will pay a surtax. Madam Speaker, it is a great plan. It is an American plan. It should be a bipartisan plan. And I am for it. Thank you, President Biden. ____________________
