                         BIDEN INFLATION CRISIS

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, the Biden inflation crisis has 
hit the poor and middle-income families the hardest.
  Inflation just reached a 30-year high, and consumer prices have 
increased to an astonishing 6.2 percent compared to 12 months ago. This 
has serious impacts on hardworking families as they try to make ends 
meet and prepare for the holiday season.
  Are you planning on buying a 16-pound turkey? Be prepared to pay 18 
percent more this year. That does not even include the stuffing.
  Are you planning on driving to visit family for the holidays? Plan on 
paying 61 percent more in gas prices than last year.
  Instead of taking action to rein in wasteful government spending and 
address rising costs, the White House is claiming a vote for the Build 
Back Better plan will solve the inflation crisis, which is a complete 
lie any way you look at it.
  Their socialist spending plan will add more fuel to the inflation 
crisis and worsen their self-made supply chain crisis.
  It is no wonder a majority of Americans disapprove of President 
Biden's handling of the economy, and it gets worse every single day.
  Americans cannot afford to fund the Democrats' liberal wish list, and 
it is

time that Washington bureaucrats take real action to get back to fiscal 
responsibility and save our country.
  In God we trust.
