BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, following Jim Jordan is like why nobody wanted to follow Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. It is going to be tough.

But you never reduce burdens or inflation by increasing taxes $740 billion. It is estimated that there is a $4,500 increase on the average family under this proposal. Instead, you simply create more government that never goes away.

This is not an inflation reduction act. It is a woke climate bill that will increase inflation, Madam Speaker.

Madam Speaker, my Democrat friends seem to have forgotten that capitalism is not the enemy; we are.

I would also remind my colleagues across the aisle that, in Tennessee, we reduced taxes and regulations, and now we have record surpluses. Individuals and businesses are moving from your district to mine as fast as they can get there.

Madam Speaker, the ranking member, who I call chairman, will be incredibly missed here in these Halls, but also more so out on the baseball field.
