American Rescue Plan Act of 2021

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support the American Rescue Plan, and I want to thank Chairman Neal for his work to ensure that this package keeps our promises.

This rescue plan is transformative. It is the biggest investment in American families in a generation.

It puts shots in arms, money in pockets, children back to school, and people in jobs.

It invests in research, development, and production to get vaccines out to all Americans.

It helps keep people in their homes and apartments.

It puts food on the tables of families who are experiencing hunger.

It supports 27 million children with an expanded child tax credit.

It helps more than 17 million workers through the earned income tax credit.

It lowers healthcare costs and helps families keep their health coverage through a provision in the bill that I coauthored with Congresswoman McBath.

A vote for this bill is a vote for investing in the dignity of America's families. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this relief package.

Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
