                 INFLATION UNDERMINES AMERICAN FAMILIES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, American neighborhoods are 
under terrorist threat due to the Biden catastrophic blunder of the 
Afghan surrender with on open southern border. This is not his only 
failure as inflation undermines American families.
  Under Biden, borrowing and spending has already caused inflation to 
surge to the fastest pace in 13 years, according to the Labor 
Department. Sadly, we have price increases: Gasoline, 42.7 percent; 
bacon, 17 percent; chicken, 7.2 percent; fish and seafood, 10.6 
percent; eggs, 9.9 percent.
  Whatever the increase in wages, inflation has wiped out gains. 
Americans keep less under Biden. Now, Biden proposes $3.5 trillion in 
more borrowing, taxing, and spending, which will destroy private sector 
jobs, add to the debt of younger citizens, and weaken retirement 
accounts.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from abroad to our neighborhoods.
