Floor Speech

Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this resolution.

Congress has the power to invalidate this bureaucratic rule that, simply put, would, once again, sell out the greatest strength of the American economy--our American workers.

The Build America, Buy America Act was bipartisan legislation that was included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

We must ensure that any infrastructure projects across America uses American-made and sourced products when they are available.

When the government spends American taxpayer money on an infrastructure project, it is common sense that the materials used in the project should be made in America.

We have the world's best workers making the best materials we need right here at home. This administration's radical push to end consumer choice and force electric vehicles upon us is completely wrong.

When Chinese- or Russian-made products and materials are used instead of those from America, it steals jobs from U.S. workers. This administration cannot be allowed to enable brutal dictators and thugs on the backs of American workers.

I urge all of my colleagues to support opposition of this radical rule from the Biden administration and support the American worker by voting for this resolution.
