Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this destructive piece of legislation.

Every day I hear from fellow Mississippians who struggle to buy gas and groceries because of inflation fueled by the left's reckless spending.

Now, instead of acknowledging the impact their out-of-control spending has had on Americans, my colleagues across the aisle are trying to pass legislation that will increase taxes on Americans, spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars on far-left priorities, and pass legislation that will add an army of IRS agents.

It is time to acknowledge that the American people are suffering because of legislation exactly like this.

The American people are tired of this economic crisis, and they have been clear: Do not raise taxes, do not add to this recession with more wasteful spending, do not weaponize the IRS, and do not vote for this legislation.

This Congress must listen to the American people and vote against this bill.
