AMERICANS ARE WAITING
(Mr. HILL of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, why were we brought back to
Washington, D.C., this week?
Was it to provide much-needed relief and assistance to American
families and small businesses because of the pandemic? No.
Instead, we continue to spend time on another set of mostly partisan
messaging bills with little or no input from Republicans. My Democratic
colleagues rely on grandstanding and talk more about the bills they
have passed than the bills, Madam Speaker, they have actually gotten
signed into law.
It is time for Democrats to get serious and stop trying to score
political points and come back to the negotiating table. Let's serve
the American people by actually getting much-needed bipartisan
legislation signed into law to fight this virus and get our economy
back.
We have already proven how much good we can accomplish for American
families and the American people when we work together.
