                          BUILDING BACK BETTER

  (Mr. LIEU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, three of the goals of President Biden's agenda 
and that of Congressional Democrats are to recover from this pandemic, 
to create jobs, and to lower taxes. We have met all three.
  Under President Biden's leadership, case rates and hospitalizations 
from COVID are dropping across our country, unemployment rolls have 
decreased, and since January 20, approximately 5 million jobs have been 
created.
  In addition, Democrats delivered a tax cut for families with 
children. We greatly expanded this tax cut, and we sent payments on a 
recurring monthly basis to American families. By the middle of this 
month, in November, the overall majority of families with children will 
get another round of payments directly deposited into their bank 
accounts.
  The Joint Economic Committee has shown that this creates $19 billion 
worth of economic activity in the local jurisdictions and when you let 
American families keep their hard-earned money, it creates economic 
growth. We will try to extend this tax cut for working families in the 
Build Back Better Act.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Republicans to join us.
