Ohio - The $2 trillion social and environmental bill recently passed in the House by a 220-213 vote, and Ohio congressmen differed on their votes and opinions of the bill, but ultimately voted along party lines. 

The Build Back Better Act aims to rebuild the American economy by supporting working people and the middle class. 

The bill also tackles taxes, healthcare, climate change, and housing issues, among other elements. 

Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan (D) voted to pass the legislation, calling it a landmark bill and claiming that it will put money back into the pockets of the American people. 

The legislation will be paid for by raising taxes amongst the country's top earners, and largest corporations. 

In a press release, Tim Ryan stated: 

"These landmark bills are about putting money in the pockets of the American people and providing the resources we need to compete against China. I am proud that these bills cut taxes for working families, provide universal pre-school, cap child-care costs, ensure seniors don't have to pay out of pocket for hearing aids, rebuild our roads and bridges, grow our domestic electric vehicle industry, remove dangerous lead pipes, create strong Buy America provisions, and so much more. We have to have the guts to take on China, lead the economies of the future, and put our families and our workers first. These bills do just that," said Congressman Tim Ryan.

Pennsylvania Representative Mike Kelly (R) and Ohio Representative Bill Johnson (R) voted against the bill, and opposed the spending that comes with the bill.

Kelly claimed that the legislation is a 'far left Socialist dream' and a product of big government. 

In a press release Kelly explains some of his reasoning behind voting no: 

"Joe Biden's and Nancy Pelosi's reckless government spending has spiked inflation to a 30-year high. Gas prices are surging. As we enter the winter season, it will cost American families 50 percent more to heat their homes - leaving many out in the cold. And, next week's Thanksgiving dinner will be the most expensive on record. This massive spending bill includes trillions for new 'cradle-to-grave' government programs designed to make millions of Americans dependent on Washington bureaucrats for their childcare, education and nutrition," says Kelly. 

The bill is now heading to the Senate to be voted on.
