              WE NEED TO STOP THE SOCIALIST SPENDING SPREE

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, this is a consequential week for the 
country that we love and its future.
  House Democrats are preparing to ram through the most expensive 
spending package this institution has ever seen, with a combined price 
tag of $5.5 trillion.
  $5.5 trillion, let that astronomical figure sink in.
  This package contains a $2.1 trillion tax increase on hardworking 
families and job creators, the largest in history. It bypasses needed 
infrastructure priorities in favor of Green New Deal pet projects, and 
it adds mountains of debt burden to our kids' and grandkids' future.
  Meanwhile, all of this reckless spending comes at a time when 
inflation is already sky-high, and it will only make the cost of daily 
necessities continue to go up and up.
  There is simply no justification for a package so expansive, so 
excessive, and so extreme.
  For the sake of America's future, we need to stop this socialist 
spending spree in its tracks.
