CRISIS AFTER CRISIS
(Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, the Biden administration and Democrats are
causing one crisis after another, whether it is the disastrous
withdrawal from Afghanistan; whether it is open border policy where
caravans are coming here; whether it is increasing gasoline prices at
the gas pump, increasing grocery prices, a shortage of goods so that we
can't even get gifts at Christmas. Now the Biden administration and the
Democrats want to pass a natural gas tax, which will cause heating
prices and electricity to skyrocket.
Yet, at the same time that he wants to decrease natural gas in
America, he is calling on OPEC to increase natural gas so that we can
rely on it here in America. This makes absolutely no sense to me. It is
as if he wants to hurt everyday Americans.
Madam Speaker, I object to these policies, and I hope that my
Democratic colleagues do, too.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are once again reminded to refrain
from engaging in personalities toward the President.
