It has been a long time since the American people saw the federal government working for them and believed that anything we did in Washington made any difference in their lives. With the Build Back Better Act, along with the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Americans will finally see themselves in the work we’re pursuing in Washington.

“Earlier this week, our monumental commitment to repair and modernize our physical infrastructure became law. Today it is matched by our historic investment in America’s families,” said Congressman Bishop. “The Build Back Better Act addresses the challenges that families face today — from soaring prescription drug costs to needing child care as more and more families have all parents working to put food on the table. This bill bolsters programs that train and bring more physicians and nurses to our rural communities so families can get the care they need closer to home.”

Bishop Votes Against Democrats’ Socialist Spending Agenda

“What is the actual need for a nearly $2 Trillion socialist tax and spend plan that will add almost $400 Billion to our deficit? Democrats and President Biden cannot seem to answer that. And they don’t need to, it’s clear that this is their radical political agenda being rammed through Congress without consideration for who it will harm. For starters, Biden’s unchecked inflation crisis is crushing America’s working class, and spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have is only going to make our economic crisis worse. They also laughably promised this plan would be ‘fully paid for.’ That was always a lie, and we didn’t need to wait for a CBO score to tell us that. Democrats brazenly added radical provisions, such as mass amnesty, tax breaks for the wealthy, and federally funded abortions. The ‘Build Back Broke’ agenda, coupled with the Green New Deal ‘infrastructure’ plan, will do irreparable harm to American families. There’s simply no reason to be supporting this socialist agenda.”

“My constituents and countless small businesses in my district are already suffering due to the reckless behavior of this Administration and Congressional Democrats. They are grappling with government intrusion into all aspects of their lives, spending more on everything due to skyrocketing inflation, and seeing unnecessary delays due to the national supply chain shortage,” said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “The items funded in this bill do not reflect the priorities and values of my constituents. This package also does not offer the solutions American families need to the real challenges they are facing. In fact, many of its provisions will only make their situations worse, which is why I voted no!”

Congressman Biggs Releases Statement After the Passage of Biden's Build Back Better Act

“What a sham. The American people sent us here to make their lives better, not to thicken the swamp with more bad actors and policies,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “Passing legislation like Biden’s Build Back Better Act is the very reason why Americans have lost faith in Congress. Pelosi and the Far Left continue to prove they are willing to sacrifice American prosperity for personal power gains. Bottom line, this bill is criminal, just like the people running our country. And the Far Left will reap what they have sown come 2022.”

This legislation will provide American families with a historic middle-class tax cut, expand access to health care, make child care affordable and accessible for every American family, create millions of good-paying jobs over the next decade, and help fight climate change. I am proud to help deliver this historic bill for Sacramento County families and small businesses, and I urge the Senate to quickly pass this legislation so the President can sign it into law.”

“Thank you to Leader McCarthy who made history in the House of Representatives last night and into the early hours this morning. He held the line by delaying the massive $1.9 trillion (but more like $4 trillion) Democrat-welfare spending bill on the House Floor for 8 hours and 32 minutes. Every second he spoke was one more moment we were spared the terrible policies in this bill: higher inflation, amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, higher taxes on middle class families, taxpayer funding of abortion, and federal overreach in our schools and our children’s education - to name just a few!”

“House Democrats’ reckless tax and spending spree will meet a buzz saw of resistance in the Senate,” said Barrasso. “Gas prices, heating bills, and grocery costs are all skyrocketing, and the Democrats are determined to make inflation much worse by spending trillions of taxpayer dollars. Their plan includes billions of dollars to hire an army of IRS agents, gives millionaires in New York and California a massive tax cut, and sticks families in Wyoming with the bill.

“House Democrats have forced through the most radical and ill-conceived bill in history. Clearly, the Democrats want to destroy the America we love and replace it with something mirroring Communist China. From granting amnesty and benefits to millions of illegal aliens, to weakening our military, to weaponizing the IRS to spy on our bank accounts, to raising taxes on middle-class Americans by 30 percent, this monstrous, 2,145-page bill checks every socialist box on the Left’s agenda.

“Today, thanks to the tireless work of Democrats from across the ideological spectrum, we have delivered President Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was proud to play an important role in negotiations that helped to pave the way for this moment,” said Beatty. “By empowering families with tax credits, child care, and universal pre-K, the Build Back Better Act delivers once-in-a-generation action to lower the everyday costs that burden working families – from health care to child care – while also fighting inflation. This is what it means to deliver For The People.”
