Tennesseans are hurting from the skyrocketing cost of living everywhere they turn. Now, it seems as if the United States has entered into a spending-induced recession caused by the irresponsible fiscal policies of President Biden and congressional Democrats. Instead of focusing on passing meaningful and impactful legislation to help lower the cost of living, we are voting on a bill that spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. The bill will do nothing to help ease the pain my neighbors in Tennessee are experiencing and, in fact, is likely to increase inflation even more and push prices on everything even higher. It gives a tax break to wealthy Americans who can already afford to purchase expensive electric cars. It also increases taxes amidst a recession, which will only make it worse, and it allows the IRS to hire an army of 87,000 new Federal agents to go after the middle class. Madam Speaker, I will be voting ``no,'' and I urge my colleagues to do so as well. {time} 1400
