                            BUILD BACK BROKE

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, President Biden looks to call 
his phony tax-and-spend plan Build Back Better when it actually should 
be called build back broke. It broke last night, and it is breaking 
this week.
  This plan is a disaster for Americans and the future of our small 
businesses. The National Federation of Independent Business recently 
reported that over two-thirds of small businesses faced significant 
impacts from the supply chain disruptions. Fifty-one percent of owners 
reported they are still unable to fill job openings. And uncertainty 
about the future among small business owners increased by 5 points, 
according to the NFIB Uncertainty Index.
  American small businesses are facing unprecedented challenges, and 
unfortunately, Washington bureaucrats are turning their backs on their 
concerns and pushing ahead to increase taxes, fuel rising inflation, 
and expand government control.
  I came to Washington to fight for Main Street America. That is what I 
am. And every American should know these closed-door negotiations and 
socialist policies are fiscal insanity and will crush our economy.
  Cut taxes and save our economy, a new concept.
  In God We Trust.
