                     NANCY PELOSI'S SPENDING SPREE

  (Mr. STEIL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEIL. Madam Speaker, I rise to sound the alarm of Bernie 
Sanders' and Speaker Pelosi's spending spree. Let's not forget that 
earlier this year Biden and Pelosi have already spent trillions of 
dollars. Speaker Pelosi has brought us back to Washington late in 
August, but not to address the crisis in Afghanistan.
  No, she brought us back to push through another $4.5 trillion in new 
spending. If we printed that amount of money in bills, it would fill 
50,000 semi-trailers. 50,000 semi-trailers of cash, that is what is 
before us. Who is ultimately going to pay for this? American families, 
American workers, American farmers, through higher taxes.
  And as the cost of everything from school supplies to food to gas 
continue to go up, all of us will feel the pain of this wasteful 
spending spree through higher prices.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this wasteful spending 
plan.
