          CRADLE-TO-GRAVE SOCIALISM WILL BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Mrs. Miller) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, from the cradle to the grave, 
the mission of House Democrats is a socialist transformation of 
America, which will bankrupt our country and make the U.S. dollar 
worthless, diminishing the buying power, savings, and pensions of 
regular Americans.
  House Democrats want to fund their $3.5 trillion spending spree by 
raising our taxes and increasing the debt on our children and 
grandchildren. After opening our southern border to allow 200,000 
illegal immigrants to cross every month, they are now attempting to ram 
through amnesty so foreign nationals can vote in our elections.
  The crisis in Del Rio, Texas, is the direct result of failed open 
border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, which put human 
traffickers and cartels in control of our border.
  The Bernie Sanders spending plan was produced by socialist Democrats 
who have never run a business, signed a paycheck, or kept to a budget.
  Our Nation's taxpayers deserve the utmost respect when it comes to 
our Federal budget. The Federal Government has no money, except for 
what they extort from us and the future of our children and 
grandchildren.
  Fiscal responsibility is vital for a stable, strong, and long-lasting 
economy. Under the Biden administration, inflation continues to 
skyrocket and the price of everything from gas to groceries has gone 
up.
  Gas prices are at their highest since October 2014. Fertilizer prices 
are the highest since the financial crisis of 2008.
  Crime, especially homicide, is on the rise in our cities, where these 
Democrats have pushed to defund the police.
  The American people do not want failed politicians who have created 
crises upon crises, from our borders to ruinous cities, in charge of 
everything and every aspect of our life. We reject the House Democrats' 
cradle-to-grave socialist takeover.
