                         SUPPLY CHAIN BACKLOGS

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the rising costs and 
supply chain backlogs that are impacting hardworking families.
  Store shelves across the country are empty. Families are facing what 
is expected to be the most expensive Thanksgiving in history.
  Yet, we have heard silence from Congressional Democrats on these 
issues.
  We need to solve these bigger supply chain issues, not double down on 
failing economic policies that have made life for American businesses 
and workers harder and more expensive.
  Thanks to record inflation levels, households earning the median 
income have been forced to spend an additional $175 per month on food, 
fuel, and housing. These higher costs are making your paychecks worth 
less.
  Mr. Speaker, I will continue to fight against these policies that are 
making life for Americans more expensive.
