BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Missouri for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, the $1.2 trillion Transportation and Infrastructure bill is 100 percent coupled, linked, dependent upon the $3.5 trillion partisan reconciliation bill.

As our colleagues in the Democratic Party continue to remind us and affirm, investing in our Nation's transportation and infrastructure is a core function of government, and this bill is something I and many other Republicans and Members have tried hard to support.

Unfortunately, the Democrat leadership has made it patently clear that to pass this infrastructure bill, we must pass a completely partisan $5 trillion budget reconciliation bill with the largest tax hike and government expansion in the history of our Nation. That I cannot support.
