U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today voted against Democrats' tax and spending bill. The legislation contains funding for the IRS to hire an additional 87,000 agents, a 15% minimum tax on book income, drug price controls, a natural gas tax, and billions of dollars for Green New Deal provisions.

"President Biden and D.C. liberals will stop at nothing to make their Green New Deal dreams a reality, even if it means crushing struggling American families in the process," said Bost. "This bill is packed with taxes that will kill jobs and raise energy prices and price controls that will sabotage the development of new lifesaving medications and cures. When 40-year high inflation is already making it nearly impossible for Americans to pay their bills, fill up their cars, and put food on their tables, this spending spree is not the solution. It will only make a bad situation worse."
