                    BIDEN INFLATION THANKSGIVING TAX

  (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. Madam Speaker, Thanksgiving 2021 will 
be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday. You pay with 
Biden inflation, build back bankrupt. A typical meal will cost more 
than ever.
  The Aiken Standard newspaper cartoon today is correct. Some specific 
price increases include turkey up 27 percent, carrots up 47 percent, 
potatoes 13 percent, and cranberries up 5.2 percent, in addition to gas 
up 61 percent and home heating bills up 54 percent.
  These are brutal realities for families as we celebrate being an 
American with Thanksgiving.
  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 in the global war on terrorism as it continues 
moving from the Afghanistan haven to America.
  Congratulations to the mayor-elect of Columbia, Republican Daniel 
Rickenmann, who is the first Republican in 40 years for the capital 
city elected yesterday.
