Schumer: "And I also thank all of my colleagues in both chambers for their shared commitment to getting this consequential and desperately-needed legislation across the finish line."
Schumer: "No one ever said that passing transformational legislation like this would be easy, but we are on track to get this done, because it’s so important and it is what the American people need and what they want."
Schumer: "The progress of last week illustrated how if we stick together, work towards finding that legislative sweet spot, then we can get big things done for the American people."
McConnell from Senate floor on the Democrats' reconciliation bill: "The biggest tax hikes in 50 years. The biggest peacetime tax hikes ever recorded in American history. That is what Washington Democrats are cooking up."
McConnell: “Our Democratic colleagues and President Biden are behind closed doors, dreaming up creative new ways to grab historic amounts of the American people’s money."
McConnell: "Remember, the same socialist spending plans that Democrats claim cost zero dollars somehow also need staggering new tax hikes to pay for them."
