House Republicans were happy to pass a $2 trillion #GOPTaxScam that gave handouts to big corporations and the wealthiest Americans.

But every single one of them voted against support for working families in the #AmericanRescuePlan.

The #AmericanRescuePlan delivered direct support & tax cuts for families, while helping bring unemployment claims to the lowest level since 1970.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's a GOP-chosen witness at our hearing: “this is the best jobs market I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

ICYMI: This past Saturday, House Budget Dems completed a markup of the #BuildBackBetter Act. We know that our nation, our economy, & our communities cannot wait any longer for these critical investments.

Here’s what House Budget Dems had to say: ⤵️

@RepJudyChu

America works best when everybody pays their fair share. As @RepJudyChu explains, the #BuildBackBetter Act will make sure the IRS has the tools it needs to crack down on wealthy tax evaders.

@RepHorsford

Unlike the 2017 GOP tax law, the #BuildBackBetter Act will support all Americans, not just the wealthy & big corporations. As @RepHorsford says, we have to make sure America’s families and workers have a fair shot.

@POTUS

The facts are clear: the #AmericanRescuePlan is what we need to beat #COVID, safely reopen schools, deliver relief to working families, & generate an inclusive recovery. That's why 74% of Americans – including 60% of Republicans – support @POTUS' plan.

Here's what else is true:

@RepHorsford

FACT: Leaders from across the political spectrum agree that the #AmericanRescuePlan is the plan we need to change the direction of these crises. As @RepHorsford explains, this isn’t a red state, blue state issue – it’s an American crisis.

@RepDanKildee

FACT: #COVID19 is a health AND an economic crisis. As @RepDanKildee says, we need to get Americans the economic relief they need to survive the pandemic & corresponding downturn.

For those still asking "why" the President can't withhold whatever funds he wants, here's your guide to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) -- as explained by gifs ⬇️⬇️ bit.ly/2qnbJQi

The ICA established procedures the president must follow to reduce, delay or eliminate funding.

This prohibits the President from refusing to release Congressionally appropriated funds just because they don't like it: bit.ly/2qnbJQi
