                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 12, 2021

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, on Sunday with Chris 
Wallace on Fox News Sunday, House Republican Whip Steve Scalise 
reviewed how Democrats' anti-work policies destroying jobs resulted in 
September's disastrous jobs reports:

       ``. . . look at all the policies under President Biden . . 
     . the inflation that we are seeing . . . making it easier for 
     people to stay at home . . . when every employer . . . is 
     looking for workers--and then on top of that the regulations 
     that they keep adding . . . going after small businesses, 
     making it harder to keep the supply chain moving.''
       ``We've got a 40 percent increase in gas [prices] at the 
     pump. [The Biden Administration is] begging OPEC to produce 
     more oil while they shut down the spigots in the United 
     States. It makes absolutely no sense.''
       ``Inflation is one of the biggest drivers hurting out 
     economy and hurting middle class families. Frankly, it's a 
     big tax on lower-income families.''

  In conclusion, God Bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the Global War on Terrorism continues moving 
from Afghanistan to American neighborhoods.
