Summary

A page of the Congressional Record, House, dated October 21, 2021, at page H5787. Ms. Clarke of New York speaks in support of the housing provisions of the Build Back Better Act, thanking the chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee and saying the Act addresses the affordable housing crisis for American families. A speaker critical of the bill says it adds 87,000 IRS agents, enough to fill a massive football stadium, and says other provisions would change America for the worse and reduce parents' responsibilities. The remarks are the speakers' own and are partisan.
