TODAY WE ARE HELPING MAIN STREET
(Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today, the House will vote to
approve the American Rescue Plan for poor and middle America.
The false choice of Wall Street or Main Street is no more. This plan
helps the neighborhood streets and the homes where real people live and
struggle every day.
This plan is supported by 75 percent of the American people. It will
help the cities of Niagara Falls and Buffalo, the county of Erie; will
return the American economy to full employment; and will grow that
economy by 6 percent, a rate not seen in many, many decades. This is a
good plan that provides direct assistance to the people of this country
who need it.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this plan.
