BIDEN INFLATION HIGHEST IN 40 YEARS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports that the October Consumer Price Index has increased
6.2 percent in a year with Biden inflation. Annualized, this means
inflation is going to be 7.4 percent, which would make it the highest
rate since 1982, the highest rate of inflation in over 40 years.
At the same time, in 7 of the last 9 months, real wages have fallen
and workers lost 2.6 percent of their salaries by the end of the first
Biden year. Biden and the Democrats are accelerating inflation with
insane spending bills, which now total over $5 trillion.
Democrat elite think they are smarter than anyone, and they think
Democrat voters are ignorant to believe $5 trillion in spending costs
zero dollars. You pay with Biden inflation.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
