                         TAX AND SPENDING SPREE

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, the massive social spending bill the House 
passed just 2 weeks ago is a disaster for our future. If the policies 
in the build back framework are made permanent, this spending would 
amount to $4.12 trillion over the next 10 years.
  I always say that other Members of Congress who write these bills 
must not know how to count because the revenue for this bill is just 
not there.
  We should not spend more than what we have. Families don't run their 
households this way. The government shouldn't either.
  I do not want my kids and grandkids paying for this irresponsible 
spending. Americans are already experiencing record-high inflation.
  The trillions in new spending will only make costs higher. I continue 
to fight against the government taking more of our hard-earned money.
