                TEMPORARY BENEFITS FOR WORKING FAMILIES

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I recently held community conversations 
across Indiana's First Congressional District.
  What I heard loud and clear was that families are struggling with 
rising costs at the grocery store, skyrocketing utility bills, and 
economic uncertainty that has been created by the chaos from this 
administration.
  My constituents know exactly that this economic pain and unfairness 
stems from the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. You can't fool 
hardworking people. They see the truth as clear as day.
  Yes, there are tax breaks on tips and overtime but only for 3 years. 
This is at the same time that billionaires and those who can afford a 
$1 million annual membership to Mar-a-Lago got tax breaks that are 
permanent. Why is help for working families temporary but handouts for 
the privileged permanent?
  We won't be deceived. Communities in northwest Indiana are struggling 
with increasing costs, and they know that the Republican bill is unfair 
toward working families.
  It is one of the many reasons that I opposed this unpopular 
legislation and why I will continue to fight to make the current tax 
benefits for working families permanent.
