                          INFLATION IS ONGOING

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, sadly the Biden inflation 
is ongoing, and families are struggling to survive as jobs are being 
destroyed.
  Last month I shared the Labor Department report the Consumer Price 
Index for August was rising at the fastest pace in 13 years. This 
continued in September, and here are a few price increase examples: 
gasoline up 42.1 percent; gas utilities up 20.6 percent; bacon up 19.3 
percent; eggs up 12.6 percent; children's shoes up 11.9 percent; fresh 
fish and seafood up 10.7 percent.
  Biden tax-and-spend policies cause inflation and destroy jobs. 
Clearly, the Democrat elite think they are smarter than anyone with the 
Democrat voters they see as ignorant making a claim that $3.5 trillion 
will have zero costs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues, moving 
from Afghanistan to America.
