               APPROPRIATIONS BILLS ADVANCE IN THE HOUSE

  (Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PLASKETT. Madam Speaker, Democrats are making sure that as a 
nation we build back better to create more jobs, cut taxes, and lower 
costs. President Biden's and congressional Democrats' economic plan to 
build from the bottom up and the middle out is working. America is 
getting back to work, and working families are seeing the results.
  Jobs are coming back. Under President Biden's leadership in the past 
6 months, the economy has gone from creating only 60,000 new jobs a 
month to creating 60,000 jobs every 3 days. Wages are rising. American 
workers are seeing long overdue pay raises, bringing home more money to 
their families, and powering economic growth that comes from the bottom 
up and the middle out.
  Paychecks are growing.
  The economy is growing. Thanks to Democrats' leadership, the economy 
is growing faster than at any time in the last 40 years. Independent 
projections from the Federal Reserve, the World Bank, and many others 
all forecast America this year reaching the highest levels of growth in 
nearly four decades; and small business optimism is back to pre-
pandemic highs.
