           PELOSI-SCHUMER PARTISAN PAYOFF TO PROGRESSIVES ACT

  (Mr. CARL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to voice my opposition to the 
reckless spending plan being pushed through this Congress. This so-
called COVID relief bill is nothing more than a liberal wish list of 
special-interest pork completely unrelated to COVID relief.
  With more than $1 trillion of previous COVID relief funds remaining 
unspent, it would be irresponsible to rush through a massive, partisan 
spending bill that does nothing to help the American workers or get our 
kids physically back into school. Our priorities should be reopening 
our economy, getting students physically back in school, and spending 
more for our vaccine distribution.
  COVID relief should be temporary, targeted and tied to COVID. But 
this plan does nothing of the sort.
