One year ago, in the darkness of the pandemic, @POTUS proudly signed into law @HouseDemocrats’ #AmericanRescuePlan, putting our nation on the path to crush the pandemic by getting shots in arms, money in pockets, workers safely back on the job and children safely back at school.
This law saved lives with vaccinations, testing, tracing, PPE & more. It put Americans on the road to financial security with direct payments, housing assistance, investments in small businesses, measures to lift millions of children out of poverty & help for cities & states.
Proudly, in the Rescue Plan, Democrats took action to honor our frontline heroes – health care workers, police officers, firefighters, teachers, and food, sanitation and transportation workers — who are the backbone of our economy.
Because of the success of the #AmericanRescuePlan, @POTUS & @HouseDemocrats helped our nation power an extraordinary economic recovery, which has created more than 7 million good-paying jobs & slashed unemployment to 3.8%. Now, Democrats are hard at work to build on these gains.
While Republicans want to hike taxes and rip away health care from families, Democrats are focusing on Building a Better America: lowering families’ costs, increasing their paychecks and creating good-paying jobs. Read my full statement here: speaker.gov/newsroom/31122
