Republicans Are Addressing the Major Crises

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, the Biden administration is promoting its American Jobs Plan as an infrastructure proposal. In reality, it is just a tax-and-spend package that has little to do with actual infrastructure.

We can all agree that the Nation's infrastructure is a key component to a well-functioning economy. However, Democrats are disguising a liberal wish list of big government programs as infrastructure.

Of the $2.25 trillion in total spending, only 5 percent is going to go toward traditional road infrastructure projects.

The Biden administration is labeling everything they propose as infrastructure in an attempt to deceive the American people into thinking that they are talking about roads and bridges.

Our constituents deserve an honest accounting of what Congress proposes to do with their hard-earned tax dollars.

President Biden's infrastructure plan is not about infrastructure; it is about growing the size and power of the Federal Government.

This plan is fiscally irresponsible, and it adds to the massive debt burden that we are leaving our children and grandchildren. We should mourn over what we are leaving our children and grandchildren.

The American people deserve better.
