this was one of the most significant legislative days we have had in a long time in the united states senate. but we still have a long road to travel. it is as if we caught a nice long pass at midfield but we still have 50 yards to go before we score a touchdown. but it is still good to make that pass and make that advance. what we saw yesterday is simple, that elections matter, the american people's votes matter, and democrats are working hard to keep the promises made to the american people when we won the majority. earlier this year, as you know, we passed the american rescue plan, which helped put checks in people's pockets, shots and people's arms, save small businesses and our economy. now, we are going from rescue to recovery. to make the economy, to make the american people's lives better than it was before covid, because they were so many structural problems in our economy and they became a sourness in the land we very much want to remove. the two track strategy, which i outlined earlier this year, is moving full steam i had. -- steam ahead. when i said we would path both the bath -
