                            AMERICAN CRISES

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, under the failed leadership of Joe Biden 
and Kamala Harris, our Nation faces challenges unlike any we have seen 
since the administration of former President Jimmy Carter.
  Hardworking Americans are facing an inflation crisis that is driving 
up the price of almost everything we purchase. We are facing a supply 
chain crisis where people are unable to buy the goods and services they 
need to live productive lives.
  We are facing a border crisis where our border agents are so 
overwhelmed

that we cannot account for the drugs being smuggled into our country or 
stop potential terrorists from entering our Nation. We are facing an 
energy crisis where the price of gas has reached a 7-year high and 
heating costs are projected to rise over 50 percent as winter nears.
  Every one of these crises are the result of policies this 
administration and progressive Members of this Congress have pursued 
instead of working to help the American people get back on their feet.
  It is time to reverse course, cut spending, promote good-paying jobs, 
and secure our border.
