People Over Politics

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023.

This bill is more proof of the Republicans' anti-American agenda. It would create more water and air pollution nationwide. It would cost the country trillions of dollars in taxes from corporations and the richest 1 percent. It would deny food assistance to hardworking American families who need it. And it would deny American college students and schoolchildren a quality education.

Republicans only care about budget cuts during Democratic administrations. They said nothing when Donald Trump added $8 trillion to the national debt. Thankfully, Democrats put people over politics.

President Biden's budget saves trillions of dollars and helps American families. It benefits all Americans, and it is the plan we need right now.
