Dear Friends,

This week, I joined Fox Business' The Evening Edit to discuss the disastrous, partisan $3.5 trillion spending bill being put forward by Democrats.

The biggest headline from this interview is the question of who will  actually pay for this spending and tax spree. This will be 84 months of the future earnings of America, American citizens, and in fact our great, great grandchildren are going to be paying for this if they’re [Democrats] successful.

Last week, the Energy and Commerce Committee spent a record 59 hours marking up this bill, where we made the Dems go on record for their Build More Inflation Act. Yesterday, I joined the House Budget Committee in a hearing on this $3.5 trillion spending bill that does not even have a Congressional Budget Office score. In simple terms, this Democratic Majority is having Congress vote on a piece of legislation that we do not even know how much it will ACTUALLY cost.

More headlines:

• Burgess: Abortion for all is not Women’s health care
• Burgess remarks on NDAA legislation
• Burgess: Continuing Resolutions are no way to govern
• Burgess remarks on House floor concerning NDAA provision
• Constituent demands rise, but congressional budgets stay same

Coming up: 

Next week, the House of Representatives will be considering H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, H.R. 3110 - PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, H.R. 3992 - Protect Older Job Applicants (POJA) Act, and H.R. 2119 - Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2021. There may also be another vote on a Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government after September 30, 2021.

Until next time, this is your doctor's note.

Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D.
