This morning President Joseph Biden was brilliant. He gathered together the members of the Democratic Caucus, and he spoke to the American people about the brilliance of a seismic, monumental effort to change the lives of generations of Americans. We as Democrats stood united behind the framework of Build Back Better, realizing that we will change the lives of kindergartners and children across the land and change the world. With universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds; affordable, high-quality childcare; affordable, high-quality care for hundreds of thousands of those older Americans in the latter part of their lives, allowing them to live at home in dignity--expanded child tax cut, is what I would like to call it--we stood unified. For all the chattering about friends on the other side of the aisle, name one good deed that they have done to change generations of Americans. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand with Joe Biden, the President of the United States. When he leaves and goes to the G20, he will be able to say that he has a united Caucus that believes in climate change, that believes in humanity and the human infrastructure that Build Back Better is. We are on the move. We are on the road. We are going to pass both bills. And we are going to change Americans' lives forever and ever and ever. I am proud to be a Democrat and to stand in this monumental era of our time. Mr. Speaker, tell the American people we are on the move. ____________________
