                            BUILD BACK BROKE

  (Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address the most 
expensive bill and largest tax increase in American history, the 
recently passed build back broke bill.
  The legislation reads like a far-left Christmas wish list that isn't 
completely paid for. It is filled with more than 150 social programs 
and budget gimmicks that make these expensive programs appear less 
costly on paper, although Democrats intend to make them permanent.
  Some of these include $7.4 billion for electric bicycles, a SALT tax 
cut of $25,900 for millionaires, $80 billion to the IRS, and $100 
billion toward amnesty for illegal immigrants.
  What is equally concerning is what is not in the bill. Within the 
2,000 pages, there is not a single mention of border control, China, or 
Afghanistan. This year especially, with record-breaking southern border 
apprehensions, Chinese missile testing, and the Taliban takeover of 
Afghanistan, Congress should prioritize investing in our country's 
safety and security.
  Mr. Speaker, Democrats have doubled down on failed policies and 
irresponsible spending. It is simply out of touch with the desires of 
the American people.
