                   STOP RECKLESS TAX-AND-SPEND SPREE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, this week, liberals will 
attempt to ram through the most egregious spending package since the 
New Deal. By adding $3.5 trillion in new spending, their plan would not 
lift families up; it would keep families down.
  By imposing liberals' hidden tax by inflation, by pumping billions of 
dollars into an economy that is already saturated from failed stimulus 
packages, my colleagues' actions will directly harm working Americans.
  Raising taxes on middle-class families and small businesses is not 
the answer to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Forcing businesses to 
conform to new regulations won't get Americans back to work.
  Now is the time to support our families. It is not the time to spend 
more money than it cost to win World War II. We need to put a stop to 
this reckless tax-and-spend spree, and we need

to get back to serving the American people.
