THE $3.5 TRILLION TROJAN HORSE
(Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, Democrats are here today proposing an elaborate spending scheme that will cost $3.5 trillion.
President Biden claimed this week it would cost zero dollars.
Well, what is the truth? Let's find out what is in this Trojan horse of a spending bill:
The largest tax increase in American history.
A business tax that is going to be higher than Communist China, which is our number one adversary, putting us at a competitive disadvantage and causing jobs to go overseas.
The highest inflation in four decades. Already, families are being hit with high costs at the gas pump and at the grocery store. It is only going to get worse with this bill.
$630 billion for the Green New Deal. This includes a $7.5 billion to create a Civilian Climate Corps, which would create over a million climate activists at taxpayer expense.
$80 billion to double the number of IRS agents.
