Harris Opposes Biden Bailout Bill
WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) today voted against H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. While $1 trillion in stimulus funding remains unspent, House Democrats rammed through a new $1.9 trillion package that contained less than 9% of funds designated to combating COVID-19 through public health spending. The debt-busting spending package was loaded with pork.
Congressman Harris issued the following statement:
"From funding the Pelosi tunnel to the Schumer bridge, the Biden bailout is nothing but a pricey liberal wish list. If Democrats were serious about focusing on COVID-19, they would focus on spending the $1 trillion in currently unspent stimulus dollars, reopening schools, and following the science on vaccine policy. Unfortunately, future generations will be saddled with the Biden bailout's big price tag."
