                     AMERICANS ARE FEELING THE PAIN

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, America is in the midst of an 
energy and supply chain crisis, and President Biden is nowhere to be 
found.
  Instead, this week he will be jetting off to Europe for a climate 
conference to brag to our European allies about how much he is 
destroying America's energy economy.
  In the past few months in office, President Biden canceled the 
Keystone pipeline, which killed over 11,000 American jobs and paused 
oil and gas leasing on U.S. lands and waters. The consequences of his 
policy decisions have been dire for hardworking American families.
  The numbers don't lie. Home heating costs are projected to rise by as 
much as 54 percent. The national average for a gallon of gasoline 
reached $3.38, and U.S. households are on track to spend $19 billion 
more on energy by 2030.
  Instead of working on bipartisan climate solutions, Democrats are 
more focused on implementing their radical Green New Deal policies and 
making us less energy independent.
  From increased costs at the pump to heating bills, Americans are 
feeling the pain of President Biden's anti-energy policy in their 
wallets. The bottom line is socialism just does not work.
  In God we trust.
