Some of the worst provisions included in this package would:\n\nImplement one of the largest tax increases in our nation's history.\n\nHire 87,000 new IRS agents to target ordinary Americans.\n\nPerpetuate labor shortages by eliminating work requirements to receive welfare benefits for able bodied adults \u2013 at a time when there are over 10.4 million job openings.\n\nImpede and ban domestic energy and mineral production, increasing our dependency on OPEC, China, and Russia.\n\nPermit the taxpayer funding of abortion.\n\nGive amnesty to illegal aliens, further incentivizing illegal immigration and worsening the border crisis.\n\n\"Make no mistake, this bill will hit working families the hardest by raising taxes and causing inflation to soar to new heights. While coastal elites might not notice more price hikes at the gas pump or checkout line, working families in Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District most certainly will. My constituents deserve better, which is why I voted NO.\"\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stauber.house.gov/media/press-releases/stauber-votes-no-biden-and-pelosi-s-multi-trillion-tax-and-spend-package"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2401840649545193, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
