PRESIDENT BIDEN'S UNIFIED AGENDA
(Mr. CRENSHAW asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. CRENSHAW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to note an odd philosophy
that I have seen amongst my Democrat colleagues, and it is this: The
belief that if one regulation is good, then ten must be better. Of
course, that is not true, but it is actually worse than that. The Biden
administration is proposing 2,500 new regulations; they call this ``the
unified agenda.'' I am not sure what is unifying about suffocating
American businesses and workers under D.C. bureaucrats.
We are killing our economy by the death of a thousand cuts. Our
products will be more expensive, and that is if

their manufacturing isn't just immediately shipped off to China.
Biden said he wouldn't ban fracking outright, but will make it
impossible to build new projects, build pipelines, or export our clean
American natural gas that would decrease global carbon emissions.
These new regulations will take away our choices on healthcare,
encourage illegal immigration, discourage the enforcement of our
immigration laws, and more than that, this philosophy of regulate at
any cost will result in silly regulations like this: Reducing
disturbances to Hawaiian spinner dolphins from human interaction.
This is not how we govern.
