In order to make progress on the President’s vision, it is important that we advance the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework and the Build Back Better Act today.

“The strong October jobs report is clear evidence that Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda is delivering real results For The People – with more than 600,000 jobs on average created each month, workers’ wages surging and unemployment plummeting.  With this report’s revisions to the previous two months, close to six million jobs have been created under the first nine months of President Biden and Congressional Democrats’ leadership, and we have lowered unemployment at the fastest rates in U.S. history, meeting projections two years earlier than expected."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives in support of H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Good Evening.  Thank you all for your thoughtful input throughout this process.  This morning, it was inspiring to see the presentations of our Chairs and their informed exchange with Members. 

Also this morning, the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation issued their report which shows that Build Back Better is solidly paid for.  Specifically, the report finds that the tax-increase provisions in the bill would raise $1.5 trillion over 10 years.  This analysis does not include the legislation’s other pay-fors, including prescription drug pricing savings and IRS enforcement.  Estimates suggest that these two pay-fors together will raise approximately $650 billion, putting the total revenue above $2 trillion.  It is essential that the legislation is fully paid for and reduces the debt.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a photo opportunity today with The Honorable Roberto Fico, President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic of Italy, ahead of a bipartisan leadership meeting.

“Today, Senate Republicans again undermined the sacred right to vote and harmed their own constituents when they blocked the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act."
