                           REAL COVID RELIEF

  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, in the midst of these hard times, we are 
especially grateful for the healthcare and frontline workers who have 
bravely answered the call. Thankfully, we see glimmers of hope with the 
discovery and distribution of multiple vaccines.
  Yet, sadly, here in Congress, Democrats are using the pretense of 
COVID relief to ignore bipartisan consensus and push a $2 trillion 
liberal wish list of unrelated provisions. Let's not forget the most 
recent targeted COVID relief bill was signed into law only 1 month ago, 
and together with previously enacted stimulus laws, over $1 trillion 
remain unspent.
  Back home in Michigan, Governor Whitmer continues to go it alone, 
imposing punitive and arbitrary restrictions that have harmed too many 
small businesses and hardworking families.
  It is time to work together to end this pandemic and help our 
constituents get back on their feet. Let's get students back in the 
classroom, vaccines distributed, and workers back on the job.
