                   FURTHER INCREASES IN ENERGY COSTS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, as Congress leaves for the weekend, we 
have to alert the American public over the potential results of the 
Build Back Better bill as well as the American Rescue Plan that was 
already passed.
  Soon we will be getting our winter heat bills in the Midwest. If you 
are from Wisconsin, if you are from Michigan, if you are from 
Minnesota, look out, because we have a big increase in energy costs, 
and you ought to be cutting back on your spending right now.
  In any event, this bill looks like it is stoked up for more spending, 
which means more inflation. We have new Pell grants for people who are 
here illegally, and the idea of getting free college for people here 
illegally and paying for it by inflating the dollar still more is just 
plain irresponsible.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the American people to pay attention because if 
this bill passes, it will be further increases in your heat bill.
