Getting Things Done and Protecting Your Finances

What Democrats Are Doing:
With an incredibly slim majority, Democrats in the first two years of President Biden’s term passed: 

• a stimulus package that helped boost the economy and helped America’s families (the American Rescue Act).
  
  
• an Infrastructure bill that will provide jobs while repairing America’s roads and bridges, building and repairing water infrastructure and cybersecurity, providing affordable, high speed Internet, upgrading the power grid, and more.
  
  
• the CHIPS Act which will revitalize high-tech domestic manufacturing, create good-paying American jobs, strengthen American supply chains, and accelerate the industries of the future. The bill has already spurred an historic recovery in manufacturing.
  
  
• The PACT Act which will address toxic exposures that have poisoned veterans and provide them with the health care and benefits they have earned and deserve. 
  
  
• The Inflation Reduction Act which marked the most significant action Congress has taken on clean energy and climate change in the nation’s history. The bill lowers household costs across health coverage, prescription drugs, home energy, and electric vehicles and invests in neighborhoods, farmers, forests and wildfire prevention. Every single Republican voted against it.

What Republicans Are Doing:
Although a majority of Americans (58%) want this Republican-majority House of Representatives to prioritize lowering costs like groceries and gas, Republicans have proposed a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline. During their campaigns, Republicans talked about the border crisis and inflation but have done nothing to address either. Instead, they are running a three-ring circus of investigations, something only 14% of Americans say they want.
